RAFT (Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer) crosslinking (co)polymerization of multi‐olefinic monomers to form polymer networks

摘要: The use of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) crosslinking (co)polymerization multi-olefinic monomers to produce three-dimensional polymer networks is reviewed. We give specific attention differences between RAFT and conventional processes, other forms deactivation radical polymerization (such as atom nitroxide-mediated polymerizations) the dependence process network properties on agent structure. This knowledge important in optimization for applications dynamic covalent polymers (in self-healing polymers), porous monoliths or gels (used chromatographic media, flow reactors, controlled release drug delivery vehicles molecular imprinting) coatings. © 2014 Society Chemical Industry
