Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process
John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiocarbonylthio Compounds (SC(Z)S−R) in Free Radical Polymerization with Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT Polymerization). Effect of the Activating Group Z
John Chiefari,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,Almar Postma,and Melissa A. Skidmore,San H. Thang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two series of chain transfer agents (SC(Z)S−CH2Ph and SC(ZS−C(Me)2CN) were used for styrene polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailored Polymers by Free Radical Processes
Ezio Rizzardo,John Chiefari,Bill Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The RAFT polymerization as mentioned in this paper is a method for the control of free radical polymerization and its use in the preparation of narrow polydispersity polymers of various architectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chain Transfer Activity of ω-Unsaturated Methyl Methacrylate Oligomers
TL;DR: In this article, the chain transfer activities of a series of ω-unsaturated methyl methacrylate oligomers (dimer, trimer, tetramer, and a higher macromonomer with average chain length of 24 units) were evaluated over the temperature range 45−100 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new form of controlled growth free radical polymerization
TL;DR: In this article, a new form of controlled growth free radical polymerization leading to narrow polydispersity polymers and/or block copolymers is described, based on the polymerization of monomers in the presence of macromonomers of general structure CH2=C(Z)CH2(A)n [(A n= radical leaving group, Z = activating group] and displays many of the characteristics of living polymerizations.
