Living/controlled radical polymerizations in dispersed phase systems

摘要: Abstract Living/controlled radical polymerization provides a route to synthesizing materials with designed microstructure and narrow molecular weight distributions. A variety of living systems have been developed in recent years, are based on either reversible termination (SFRP, ATRP) or transfer mechanisms (RAFT, degenerative transfer). Application heterogeneous such as emulsion miniemulsion may provide process economic advantages over the traditional homogeneous bulk solution polymerizations. However, adaptation chemistry aqueous dispersions poses several challenges relating maintaining effective control growth chains. These originate from having two even three phases reaction mixture, which can lead issues related phase partitioning controlling agent, transport agent between phases, role kinetics, phenomena particle nucleation colloidal stability. This review examines progress this area, an emphasis unresolved future opportunities.
