Origin of Inhibition Effects in the Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Polymerization of Methyl Acrylate

Perrier, Sébastien, Barner-Kowollik, Christopher, Quinn, John F., Vana, Philipp, Davis, Thomas P.·2002·Macromolecules

Abstract

The reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) bulk polymerization of a fast propagating monomer (methyl acrylate, MA) has been studied using 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate (1-PEDB) and 2-(2-cyanopropyl) dithiobenzoate (CPDB) as RAFT agents at 60 °C. Rate retardation with increasing initial RAFT agent concentrations is common to both 1-PEDB- and CPDB-mediated MA polymerizations and occurs in comparable magnitude. A pronounced inhibition period is observed in 1-PEDB-mediated MA polymerizations, whereas the corresponding CPDB-mediated polymerizations show considerably less inhibition. The cause for this inhibition may either be associated with the leaving group of the initial RAFT agent or with the slow fragmentation of the initial intermediate macroRAFT radical. The present experimental data suggest that slow fragmentation is the probable cause for inhibition. We conclude that the radical intermediate formed by addition of radicals to the initial RAFT agent is different in stability than the macroRAFT radical formed analogously from macroRAFT agent. The inhibition period is effectively reduced by the use of CPDB as the initial RAFT agent in methyl acrylate polymerizations.

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.
