Verification of Controlled Grafting of Styrene from Cellulose via Radiation-Induced RAFT Polymerization

Abstract

Reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was applied to radiation-induced graft polymerization of styrene from cellulose. The grafting of styrene from cellulose substrates using the chain transfer agent cumyl phenyldithioacetate was confirmed by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetery, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle analysis. Grafted polystyrene chains were cleaved from the cellulose surface by acidic hydrolysis of the cellulose. The number-average molecular weight and polydispersity index of the grafted and the free (nongrafted) polystyrenes obtained under identical conditions were determined by size exclusion chromatography. Grafted and nongrafted polystyrenes have almost the same (near theoretical) molecular weight and narrow polydispersity, thus proving for the first time the control of the grafting process mediated via RAFT without any prior functionalization of the surface.

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.
