Polymer scrambling: macromolecular radical crossover reaction between the main chains of alkoxyamine-based dynamic covalent polymers.

A novel polymer hybridization method, "polymer scrambling", was developed on the basis of the macromolecular radical crossover reaction between the main chains of dynamic covalent polymers. The macromolecular crossover reaction was successfully monitored by GPC and NMR measurements. The present methodology is innovative for the preparation of novel polymer hybrid materials at the nanometer scale.
