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.

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.
