Catalytic Control of the Vitrimer Glass Transition

Mathieu Capelot, Miriam M. Unterlass, François Tournilhac et al. · 11 Jun 2012

Vitrimers, strong organic glass formers, are covalent networks that are able to change their topology through thermoactivated bond exchange reactions. At high temperatures, vitrimers can flow and behave like viscoelastic liquids. At low temperatures, exchange reactions are very long and vitrimers behave like classical thermosets. The transition from the liquid to the solid is reversible…

Emerging Trends in Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly

Nicholas J. W. Penfold, Jonathan Yeow, Cyrille Boyer et al. · 7 Aug 2019

In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various morphologies. Much of the PISA literature has been based on thermally initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Herein, we pay particular attention to alternative PISA protocols, which allow the preparation of nanoparticles with…

Dynamic Hydrogels with an Environmental Adaptive Self-Healing Ability and Dual Responsive Sol–Gel Transitions

Guohua Deng, Fuya Li, Hongxia Yu et al. · 12 Jan 2012

Dynamic polymer hydrogels with an environmental adaptive self-healing ability and dual responsive sol–gel transitions were prepared by combining acylhydrazone and disulfide bonds together in the same system. The hydrogel can automatically repair damage to it under both acidic (pH 3 and 6) and basic (pH 9) conditions through acylhydrazone exchange or disulfide exchange reactions. However,…

Visible Light and Sunlight Photoinduced ATRP with ppm of Cu Catalyst

Dominik Konkolewicz, Kristin Schröder, Johannes Buback et al. · 4 Oct 2012

Photochemically induced ATRP was performed with visible light and sunlight in the presence of parts per million (ppm) copper catalysts. Illumination of the reaction mixture yielded polymerization in case of 392 and 450 nm light but not for 631 nm light. Sunlight was also a viable source for the photoinduced ATRP. Control experiments suggest photoreduction…

Organic Catalysis for Ring-Opening Polymerization

Andrew P. Dove · 5 Dec 2012

Organic catalysis in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has become a powerful alternative to more traditional metal-based catalysts. The field has developed to a point at which there are not only excellent low cost and easy to use organocatalysts for day-to-day polymerizations, but the ability to precisely control the synthesis of advanced polymer architectures and ROP monomers…

ACS Macro Letters template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the ACS Macro Letters format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the ACS Macro Letters template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does ACS Macro Letters use?
ACS Macro Letters uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. ACS Macro Letters 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to ACS Macro Letters?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready ACS Macro Letters document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the ACS Macro Letters template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the ACS Macro Letters format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is ACS Macro Letters?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready ACS Macro Letters PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official ACS Macro Letters template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the ACS Macro Letters template cost?
You can start writing in the ACS Macro Letters template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready ACS Macro Letters PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
