Macromolecules, 44(16), 6461-6470. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma200852zWe describe here a facile route for the in situ modification of the surface properties of fibers produced by electrospinning polystyrene containing small quantities of compatible polymer additives, end-functionalized with 1–3 fluoroalkyl groups. Such... Read More about Electrospinning Superhydrophobic Fibers Using Surface Segregating End-Functionalized Polymer Additives.
Multi-end functionalised polymer additives synthesised by living anionic polymerisation-the impact of additive molecular structure upon surface properties (2011)

Polymer Chemistry, 2(4), 851-861. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0py00362jNumerous applications require specific properties at polymer surfaces that differ from the bulk. Herein we describe the novel synthesis of a series of multi-end functionalised poly(styrene) and poly(isoprene) additives carrying 1 to 3 fluoroalkyl (CF...
