Synthesis of Defined Polymers by Reversible Addition—Fragmentation Chain Transfer: The RAFT Process
Abstract
Free radical polymerization in the presence of thiocarbonylthio compounds of general structure Z-C(=S)S-R provides living polymers of predetermined molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution by a process of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer. A rationale for selecting the most appropriate thiocarbonylthio compounds for a particular monomer type is presented with reference to the polymerization of methacrylates, styrenes, acrylates, acrylamides and vinyl acetate. The efficacy of the process is further demonstrated by the synthesis of narrow polydispersity polystyrene- block -poly(methyl acrylate)- block -polystyrene and 4-armed star polystyrene.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
