Miktoarm Star Copolymers Prepared by Transformation from Enhanced Spin Capturing Polymerization to Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization (ESCP- Ŧ-NMP) toward Nanomaterials

• Zachary Long

Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) serves as a strong software these days for the preparations of distinctive linear and non-linear macromolecules. On this examine, enhanced spin capturing polymerizations (ESCPs) of styrene (St) and tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) monomers had been, respectively, carried out within the presence of difunctional (1Z,1’Z)-1,1′-(1,4-phenylene) bis (N–tert-butylmethanimine oxide) (PBBN) nitrone. 4-arm (PSt)4 and (PtBA)4 star macroinitiators…
