The study presents an oxygen-tolerant method for producing high molecular weight α-lipoic acid copolymers.
Copolymerization achieved molecular weights exceeding 6000, with LA incorporation up to 68 mol%, enhancing polymer properties.
The innovative photoRAFT technique employs methylene blue as a photosensitizer, allowing for broader functionalization of copolymers.
This approach paves the way for applications in creating biocompatible plastics and biomedical materials.
