Synthesis of Block Copolymers of 2- and 4-Vinylpyridine by RAFT Polymerization
Abstract
The synthesis of block copolymers of 2- and 4-vinylpyridine (VP) by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was discussed. All polymerization were conducted at 60 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere in septa-sealed vials. Absolute molecular weights were determined by online light scattering. Good end-group control was demonstrated by utilizing the resulting homopolymers as macro-chain-transfer agents.
