Abstract

2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-ylthiyl (TEMPS), the sulfur analogue of the well known TEMPO free radical, has been investigated as an initiator/moderator for the controlled/living radical polymerisation (CRP) of styrene. Polymerisations were carried out at 125 °C using benzoyl peroxide and AIBN as conventional thermal initiators. The results show that TEMPS has a significant effect on the polymerisations but unlike CRP carried out using TEMPO they do not follow a ‘living’ pathway.
