Application

Poly(styrene) is a hydrophobic polymer used in many applications. The end group functionality contains a carboxylic acid (COOH) as well as the 2-(Dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic acid RAFT agent moiety. This will allow for additional polymerization to generate a diblock copolymer. This RAFT agent is especially suited for the polymerization of styrene; acrylate and acrylamide monomers.

Functional Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Wide range of functional polymers for biomedical applications have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Several classes of polymers including biodegradable polymers, hydrophilic & amphiphilic polymers, and stimuli responsive polymers have been prepared using controlled and directed functionalization via "living" polymerization such as RAFT, ionic and ring opening polymerization. Selected polymers have been studied for their structure-properties relationship. "
