Synthesis of methacrylate polyanion chains via RAFT polymerization, kinetic study. Thermal properties of its copolymers with MMA and monomers’ reactivity ratios

Poly(octadecyl methacrylate) via RAFT Technique and Its Rheological Study for Waxy Crude

“…The significant advancement in polymer synthesis is attributed to the evolution of Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP), commonly referred to as living or controlled radical polymerization (CRP), imparting a living character to the polymerization process . These techniques include Nitroxide Mediated Polymerization (NMP), − Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP), − and Reversible Addition–Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization. − Among these methods, RAFT has emerged as the most useful technique in the contemporary polymer synthesis. It relies on the utilization of a chain transfer agent (CTA) or a RAFT agent.…”
