Combining thio-bromo Click chemistry and raft polymerization: a powerful tool for preparing functionalized multiblock and hyperbranched polymers

An experiment was conducted to prove that RAFT-prepared polymers can serve as convenient masked macromolecular thiols suitable for thio-bromo reactions. Homopolymers were prepared by RAFT polymerization using 4-cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate (CPADB) as the chain transfer agent, yielding homopoly...
