Convergent synthesis of 3-arm star polymers from RAFT-prepared poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) via a thiol-ene click reaction

A novel convergent route to 3-arm star polymers is described that takes advantage of RAFT-synthesized homopolymers serving as masked macromolecular terminal thiol-containing materials capable of undergoing thiol-ene click reactions. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
