Evaluation of RAFT Agents

A series of polymerization were carried out using RAFT agents and monomers yielding well-defined polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions.

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.

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.

RAFT Polymerization Procedures

RAFT (Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer) is a form of living radical polymerization involving conventional free radical polymerization of a substituted monomer in the presence of a suitable chain transfer (RAFT) reagent.

Typical Procedures for Polymerizing via RAFT

We presents an article featuring procedures that describe polymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate homopolymers and a block copolymer as performed by researchers at CSIRO.

Concepts and Tools for RAFT Polymerization

Sigma-Aldrich presents an article about RAFT, or Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer, which is a form of living radical polymerization.
