Improving photo-controlled living radical polymerization from trithiocarbonates through the use of continuous-flow techniques

Abstract

Herein, we report simple flow reactor designs that enable photo-controlled living radical polymerization (photo-CRP) from trithiocarbonates (TTCs) with significant enhancements in scalability and reaction rates compared to the analogous batch reactions. We also demonstrate the “on/off” photo-switchability of this reaction under flow conditions.
