Semi-batch emulsion polymerizations of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) are reported. The molar mass control is achieved via iodine transfer polymerization (ITP) using IC4F8I as chain transfer agent. Polymerizations carried out at 75 °C and pressures ranging from 10 to 30 bar result in low dispersity polymers with respect to the molar mass distribution (MMD). At higher pressures a significant deviation from the ideal behavior expected for a reversible deactivation transfer polymerization occurs. As identified by kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations of the activation–deactivation equilibrium, during the initialization period of the chain transfer agent already significant propagation occurs due to the higher pressure, and thus, the higher monomer concentration available. Based on the kMC modeling results, semi-batch emulsion polymerizations were carried out as a two pressure process, which resulted in very good control of the MMD associated with a comparably high polymerization rate.

The copolymerization of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate (HFIPA) and glycidyl methacrylate via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process was investigated. 2-cyano-2-propyl dodecyl trithiocarbonate (CPDT) was used as chain transfer agent. It is turned out that CPDT and polymeric chain transfer agent obtained based on HFIPA and CPDT provide a good control over molar mass characteristic of copolymers (Đ = 1.05). Reactivity ratios were found to be r1(GMA) = 1.57 and r2(HFIPA) = 0.05 by Fineman–Ross model.

pH-switchable chain transfer agent 1-cyano-1-methylethyl (phenyl)(pyridin-4-yl)-carbamodithioate (CMPC) was synthesized and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene in presence of CMPC was studied. It was shown that presence of CMPC affects molar mass distribution and kinetic features and realizes supposed mechanism of RAFT polymerization. Different effect of CMPC on polymerization of styrene in presence of protic acids was studied.
