Living Free Radical Polymerization

A batch reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene was investigated. The results show that the process has good characteristics of living free radical polymerization. The polymerization rate is higher comparing continuous polymerization.

AbstractModification of polymeric materials has been a significant issue over last two decades in many fields of application. Among modification techniques developed to date, surface grafting has emerged as a simple, useful, and versatile approach to improve surface properties of polymers for a wide variety of applications. The synthesis of tethered block copolymer brushes via the use of controlled/”living” free radical polymerization techniques presents many significant advantages over traditional free radical polymerization techniques. This review surveys recent literature on polymer surfaces with graft chains, mainly focusing on grafting methods such as surface-initiated controlled/”living” free radical polymerization via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP), reversible addition fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization and iniferter techniques.

The first detailed study on free-radical polymerization, copolymerization and controlled radical polymerization of the cyclic push–pull-type monomer methylenelactide in comparison to the non-cyclic monomer α-acetoxyacrylate is described. The experimental results revealed that methylenelactide undergoes a self-initiated polymerization. The copolymerization parameters of methylenelactide and styrene as well as methyl methacrylate were determined. To predict the copolymerization behavior with other classes of monomers, Q and e values were calculated. Further, reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-controlled homopolymerization of methylenelactide and copolymerization with N,N-dimethylacrylamide was performed at 70 °C in 1,4-dioxane using AIBN as initiator and 2-(((ethylthio)carbonothioyl)thio)-2-methylpropanoic acid as a transfer agent.

This paper presents a review of living radical polymerization achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds [ZC(=S)SR] by a mechanism of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). Since we first introduced the technique in 1998, the number of papers and patents on the RAFT process has increased exponentially as the technique has proved to be one of the most versatile for the provision of polymers of well defined architecture. The factors influencing the effectiveness of RAFT agents and outcome of RAFT polymerization are detailed. With this insight, guidelines are presented on how to conduct RAFT and choose RAFT agents to achieve particular structures. A survey is provided of the current scope and applications of the RAFT process in the synthesis of well defined homo-, gradient, diblock, triblock, and star polymers, as well as more complex architectures including microgels and polymer brushes.
