A RAFT/MADIX method finely regulating the copolymerization of ethylene and polar vinyl monomers under mild conditions†
Abstract
A RAFT/MADIX method can not only copolymerize ethylene with a diverse range of functionally polar monomers, but can also easily tune the polar composition and the polar monomer distribution along the produced copolymer chains. This highly versatile RAFT/MADIX copolymerization platform provides access to a diverse range of polyethylene materials.
