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.

Protein- and Peptide- Polymer Conjugates by RAFT Polymerization

The modification of biomacromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, through the attachment of synthetic polymers has led to a new family of highly advanced biomaterials with enhanced properties.

A Micro Review of Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Polymerization

We presents an article about a micro review of reversible addition/fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT (Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer) polymerization is a reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) and one of the more versatile methods for providing living characteristics to radical polymerization.
