We review studies of levitating droplets over liquid–gas interfaces and dry solid surfaces with a focus on the physical mechanisms of levitation under different conditions. A fascinating physical phenomenon of self-organization of levitating droplets into large arrays is described and explanations for this unusual behavior are reviewed. Closely related topics of nonisothermal flotation and levitation of evaporating droplets over a pool of nonvolatile liquid, as well as recent advances in the study of the Leidenfrost effect, are also discussed.

Abstract A variety of living polymerization systems are now available for the controlled synthesis of block copolymers. Although living anionic polymerization remains as the method of choice for the most precise structural control, living polymerizations proceeding via other mechanistic types provide extremely useful extensions of this methodology to a wider variety of monomers.

Abstract In summary, one can say that the versatility of living polymerization makes it a very useful and unique technique. Synthetic polymer chemists can utilize the lithium at the end of the chain to add polymer-like conjugated monomers, in order to tailor-make the polymer chain, or they can use chelating diamines to change the microstructure of the polymer chain. They can also run hydrogenation on anionically prepared polydienes to produce thermoplastic elastomers. They can transform anionically made polymer chain ends by adding ethylene oxide, carbon dioxide and halogens. This paper has emphasized recent advances in this field.
