Novel, well-defined PCP-based block copolymers (PSt-b-PCP and PMMA-b-PCP) with controlled number averaged molecular weights and molecular weight distributions can be prepared, employing EPDTB and CPDB, respectively, as the initial RAFT agent.

The aqueous photo-living radical polymerization of sodium methacrylate (NaMA) was attained using 2,2′-azobis2-methyl-N-[1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-propionamide (V-80) as the initiator and 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (HTEMPO) as the mediator in the presence of (4-fluorophenyl)diphenylsulfonium triflate (FS). The polymerization was carried out in water at room temperature by irradiation using a high-pressure mercury lamp. Whereas the polymerization by V-80 and/or FS in the absence of HTEMPO produced polymers with very high molecular weights and broad molecular weight distributions, the HTEMPO-mediated polymerization provided still lower-molecular-weight distributions using both V-80 and FS. The first-order time-conversion plots had an induction period up to 2.5 h; however, they thereafter showed a linear increase. The conversion-molecular weight plots also exhibited a linear correlation. A linear correlation was also obtained for the plots of the molecular weights versus the reciprocal of the initiator concentration. Based on these three correlations, it was found that the HTEMPO-mediated photopolymerization proceeded by a living mechanism.

Simulations are employed to establish the feasibility of achieving controlled/living ethene polymerizations. Such simulations indicate that reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents carrying a fluorine Z group may be suitable to establish control in high-pressure high-temperature ethene polymerizations. Based on these simulations, specific fluorine (F-RAFT) agents have been designed and tested. The initial results are promising and indicate that it may indeed be possible to achieve molecular weight distributions with a polydispersity being significantly lower than that observed in the conventional free radical process. In our initial trials presented here (using the F-RAFT agent isopropylfluorodithioformate), a correlation between the degree of polymerization and conversion can indeed be observed. Both the lowered polydispersity and the linear correlation between molecular weight and conversion indicate that control may in principle be possible.

Environmentally benign adhesive was synthesized by dispersion copolymerization of styrene(St) and butyl acrylate (BA) in an ethanol medium with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) as the stabilizer in the presence of acrylic acid(AA) as the functional monomer. The effect of the concentration of stabilizer, initiator and functional monomer on the conversions, molecular weights and molecular weight distributions was investigated. The results show that the conversions almost keep invariable with the increasing of stabilizer concentration, but the molecular weights increase and molecular weight distributions decrease. Conversions increase with the increasing of initiator concentration, but the molecular weights and molecular weight distributions decrease. However with the increasing of functional monomer concentration, conversions and molecular weight distributions increase but the molecular weights decrease.
