Achieving molecular weight distribution shape control and broad dispersities using RAFT polymerizations
Literature Information

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerizations are one of the most versatile and powerful polymerization techniques for the synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures. While RAFT polymerizations often give polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs), commodity plastics often have broad MWDs to give targeted properties and processability. Thus, new methods to precisely control both MWD breadth and shape are essential for fine-tuning polymer properties for next generation materials. Herein, we report a simple method for controlling polymer MWD features in thermally activated radical RAFT and redox activated cationic RAFT polymerizations by means of metered additions of chain transfer agents.
