Redox-and pH-sensitive branched star polymers (BSPs), BP(DMAEMA-co-MAEBA-co-DTDMA)(PMAIGP)(n)s, have been successively prepared by two steps of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The first step is RAFT polymerization of 2-(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate (DMAEMA) and p-(methacryloxyethoxy) benzaldehyde (MAEBA) in the presence of divinyl monomer, 2,2'-dit...

Using aqueous emulsion as the medium in radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) offers an environment-friendly shift from organic solvents while increasing efficiency through known water radiolysis-based initiation. In present paper, we further extend applicability of RIGP under influence reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mechanisms. Emulsions prepared with Tween 20 ...

A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F(-) ) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F(-) , which can be observed by both naked eyes an...

RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of hydroxybutyl methacrylate using a poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) precursor leads to diblock copolymer spheres, worms or vesicles. A pseudo-phase diagram is constructed and the vesicles are briefly evaluated as Pickering emulsifier.

Abstract Controlled polymerization techniques like the reversible‐addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) are sensitive to impurities such as oxygen. This work explores application of re‐initiation a tool enhance monomer conversion. A kinetic model for oxygen inhibited RAFT dispersion synthesis poly(4‐vinylpyridine)‐ b ‐polystyrene (P4VP‐ ‐PS) is developed. Thus, using model, partially (mo...

Naked-eye detection of amino acids (AA) in water is of great significance in the field of bioanalytical applications. Herein, polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) with controlled chain length structures were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization and post-quaternization approach. The AA recognition performance of PILs with different alkyl chain length...
