RAFT PolymerizationWhat is RAFT polymerization? Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a type of radical chain polymerization in which polymerization is mediated via a reversible chain-transfer process using thiocarbonylthio compounds. These compounds are known as RAFT agents. RAFT polymerization possesses the characteristics usually associated with living polymerization. All chains begin growth at the commencement of polymerization and continue to grow until the monomer is consumed. Molecular weights increase linearly with conversion. Materials Monomers like Styrene, Methyl Methacrylate & Butyl Acrylate Applications Polymers of narrow molecular weight distribution and high functionality can be prepared . Blocks, stars, and complex molecular architectures are accessible by RAFT polymerization .Nanoencapsulation and Carbon Nano tubes functionlization can be done via RAFT polymerization. RAFT polymerization is compatible with wide variety of monomers. |
