Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Polymer
  • Catalysis

His main research concerns Polymer chemistry, Copolymer, Polystyrene, Polymer and Crystallization. His Polymer chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Oxide, Anionic addition polymerization, Polymerization, Ethylene oxide and Chemical engineering. His Anionic addition polymerization research includes themes of Solution polymerization and End-group.

His Polystyrene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Polymer blend, Micelle, Click chemistry and Tetrahydrofuran. His study in the field of Monomer also crosses realms of Size-exclusion chromatography. His work carried out in the field of Crystallization brings together such families of science as Glass transition, Lamellar structure, Small-angle X-ray scattering, Phase and Differential scanning calorimetry.

His most cited work include:

  • Crystallization Temperature-Dependent Crystal Orientations within Nanoscale Confined Lamellae of a Self-Assembled Crystalline−Amorphous Diblock Copolymer (298 citations)
  • A Giant Surfactant of Polystyrene−(Carboxylic Acid-Functionalized Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane) Amphiphile with Highly Stretched Polystyrene Tails in Micellar Assemblies (196 citations)
  • Phase structures and morphologies determined by self-organization, vitrification, and crystallization: confined crystallization in an ordered lamellar phase of PEO-b-PS diblock copolymer (190 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Polymer chemistry, Anionic addition polymerization, Polymer, Copolymer and Polystyrene. His Polymer chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Polymerization, End-group, Lithium, Organic chemistry and Styrene. His Anionic addition polymerization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adduct, Macromonomer, Solution polymerization and Surface modification.

The concepts of his Polymer study are interwoven with issues in Branching and Shear. Roderic P. Quirk interconnects Crystallography, Small-angle X-ray scattering, Chemical engineering and Monomer in the investigation of issues within Copolymer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Polymer blend and Micelle in addition to Polystyrene.

  • Polymer chemistry (65.75%)
  • Anionic addition polymerization (37.01%)
  • Polymer (29.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Polymer chemistry (65.75%)
  • Polymer (29.53%)
  • Polystyrene (27.17%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Polystyrene, Anionic addition polymerization and Organic chemistry. His studies in Polymer chemistry integrate themes in fields like Copolymer, Styrene, Polymerization, Metathesis and Living anionic polymerization. Roderic P. Quirk combines subjects such as Silyl hydride and Monomer with his study of Copolymer.

His study looks at the relationship between Polymer and fields such as Fullerene, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Polystyrene research incorporates elements of Rheology, Surface modification, Simple shear, Molecular physics and Gaussian. As a member of one scientific family, Roderic P. Quirk mostly works in the field of Anionic addition polymerization, focusing on Lithium and, on occasion, Lewis acids and bases, Proton NMR, Nucleophile and Acetylide.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Synthesis of Shape Amphiphiles Based on POSS Tethered with Two Symmetric/Asymmetric Polymer Tails via Sequential “Grafting-from” and Thiol–Ene “Click” Chemistry (75 citations)
  • Synthesis of fullerene-containing poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene as model shape amphiphiles with variable composition, diverse architecture, and high fullerene functionality (40 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Polymer
  • Catalysis

Roderic P. Quirk mainly focuses on Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Polymerization, Polystyrene and Living anionic polymerization. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Slip, Anionic addition polymerization and Polybutadiene. Roderic P. Quirk has included themes like Amorphous solid, Crystallography, Single crystal and Oxide in his Polymer study.

His studies deal with areas such as Copolymer and Atom-transfer radical-polymerization as well as Polystyrene. His Living anionic polymerization study incorporates themes from Styrene and Hydrosilylation. The Hydrosilylation study combines topics in areas such as Telechelic polymer, End-group, Addition reaction and Ene reaction.
