RAFT synthesis and stimulus-induced self-assembly in water of copolymers based on the biocompatible monomer 2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine

absReversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization, mediated by 4-cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate and 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (V-501) in water at 70°C, of biocompatible 2-(meth- acryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) yields a macro-chain transfer ag...
