General description

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation is used to produce narrow polydispersity polymers of complex architecture. 4-Cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl]pentanol is an hydroxyl functionalised trithiocarbonate RAFT agent.It is used as a dual initiator for RAFT and ring opening polymerisation to form well-defined block copolymers. They have good control of polymerisation for a wide range of vinyl monomers.

Application

Initiator for RAFT and ring opening polymerisation of block copolymers derived from vinyl monomers of styrene, metacryalte, acrylamide and cyclic monomers.

Features and Benefits

Good hydrolytic stability, suitable for a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions.

The polymerization of most monomers that are polymerizable by radical polymerization can be controlled by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process. However, it is usually required that the RAFT agent be selected according to the types of monomer being
