Solution and aqueous miniemulsion polymerizations of vinyl chloride (VC) mediated by (3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7, 7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl-2-((ethoxycarbonothioyl)thio) propanoate) (X1) were studied. The living characters of X1-mediated solution and miniemulsion polymerizations of VC were confirmed by polymerization kinetics. The miniemulsion polymerization exhibits higher rate than solution polymerization. Final conversions of VC in the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion polymerization reach as high as 87% and are independent of X1 concentration. Initiation process of X1-mediated RAFT miniemulsion polymerization is controlled by the diffusion-adsorption process of prime radicals. Due to the heterogeneity of polymerization environments and concentration fluctuation of RAFT agent in droplets or latex particles, PVCs prepared in RAFT miniemulsion exhibit relatively broad molecular weight distribution. Furthermore, chain extensions of living PVC (PVC-X) with VC, vinyl acetate (VAc), and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) reveal that PVC-X can be reinitiated and extended, further confirming the living nature of VC RAFT polymerization. PVC-b-PVAc diblock copolymer is successfully synthesized by the chain extension of PVC-X in RAFT miniemulsion polymerization.
