The total number of radicals delivered to the system by the initiator during the course of the polymerization is low compared to the number of RAFT agent molecules, meaning that the R group initiated polymer chains from the re-initiation step form the majority of the chains in the system, rather than initiator fragment bearing chains formed in ...
RAFT is a degenerative chain transfer process and is free radical in nature. RAFT agents contain di- or tri-thiocarbonyl groups, and it is the reaction with an initiator, usually AIBN, that creates a propagating chain or polymer radical. This polymer chain then adds to the C=S and leads to the formation of a stabilized radical intermediate.
a.) Shows the general form of CpA initiators with one Cp ring and a coordinated Nitrogen b.) Shows the CpA initiator used in the living polymerization of 1-hexene (5) CpA initiators have one cyclopentadienyl substituent and one or more nitrogen substituents coordinated to the metal center (generally a Zr or Ti) (Odian). The dimethyl ...
This occurs within the solvent cage, meaning that no solvent has yet come between the new radicals. [2] Figure 8: Primary recombination of BPO; brackets indicate that the reaction is happening within the solvent cage Other recombination pathways Two radical initiators recombine before initiating a chain, but not in the solvent cage (Figure 9).

The initiator of the polymerization is usually an organohalogenid and the dormant state is achieved in a metal complex of a transition metal (‘radical buffer’). This method is very versatile but requires unconventional initiator systems that are sometimes poorly compatible with the polymerization media.

The video features Otis, a 4-year-old Labrador from Leeds, England, displaying his discontent in a manner strikingly similar to a human toddler’s tantrum. As the clip begins, Otis comfortably ...
4,4′-Azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid) (ACPA) is a free radical initiator used in polymer synthesis. [1] ACPA is a water-soluble initiator used in both heterogeneous and homogeneous free-radical polymerizations. It is used as an initiator in reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT).
