Radical polymerization is one of the most widely used processes for commercial production high-molecular-weight polymers. The main factors responsible preeminent position radical are ability to polymerize a wide array monomers, tolerance unprotected functionality in monomer and solvent, compatibility with variety reaction conditions. simple implement inexpensive relation competitive technologies. However, conventional severely limits degree control that researchers can assert over...
Free-radical polymerization in the presence of suitable addition−fragmentation chain transfer agents [SC(Z)S−R] (RAFT agents) possess characteristics a living (i.e., polymer products can be reactivated for extension and/or block synthesis, molecular weights are predetermined by RAFT agent concentration and conversion, narrow polydispersities possible). Styrene polymerizations (110 °C, thermal initiation) were performed two series [SC(Z)S−CH2Ph SC(Z)S−C(Me)2CN]. The coefficients decrease...
This Perspective reviews the design and synthesis of RAFT agents. First, we briefly detail basic features that should be considered when selecting a agent or macro-RAFT for given polymerization set reaction conditions. The chosen to have an optimal Ctr (in most circumstances higher is better) while at same time it exhibit minimal likelihood retarding undergoing side reactions. also appropriate solubility in medium possess requisite end-group functionality intended application. In this light...
This document defines terms related to modern methods of radical polymerization, in which certain additives react reversibly with the radicals, thus enabling reactions take on much character living polymerizations, even though some termination inevitably takes place. In recent technical literature, these have often been loosely referred as, inter alia, "controlled", "controlled/living", or "living" polymerizations. The use is discouraged. "controlled" permitted as long type control defined...
Living radical polymerization with reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization) can be achieved the use of dithiocarbamate derivatives that have nonbonded electron pair nitrogen included as part an aromatic system. These compounds been shown to highly effective in RAFT styrene and (meth)acrylate esters produce polymers predetermined molecular weight narrow polydispersity (usually <1.2). By contrast, simple N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamates (those previously described...
