RAFT Dispersion Polymerization in Nonpolar Media: Polymerization of 3-Phenylpropyl Methacrylate in n-Tetradecane with Poly(stearyl methacrylate) Homopolymers as Macro Chain Transfer Agents

Poly(stearyl methacrylate) (PSMA) homopolymers, prepared by RAFT radical polymerization, have been employed in the RAFT dispersion polymerization (RAFTDP) of 3-phenylpropyl methacrylate (PPMA) in n-tetradecane. RAFTDPs yielded block copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions and tunable c...
