“…The tailing may be attributed to degradation of the trithiocarbonate end‐groups after prolonged exposure to blue light irradiation in water. The degree of tailing and oligomerization observed in the GPC traces may be avoided by increasing the rate of polymerization, similar to the strategy used to polymerize acrylamides by an aqueous RAFT process 93,94 …”

The photoinduced energy/electron transfer‐reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (PET‐RAFT) polymerizations of oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether methacrylate (OEOMA, also known as poly[ethylene glycol] methyl ether methacrylate, PEGMA) and isomeric methyl 2‐(oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether)acrylate (2OEOAM) macromonomers with OEO average degree of polymerization of 22 or 45 were conducted in aqueous media to provide insight into the effect of monomer structure on grafting‐through RAFT of 1,1‐disubstituted acrylic macromonomers. The polymerizations of all four monomers reached nearly quantitative conversion. The longer macromonomers polymerized faster than the shorter ones within the same monomer class. The OEO side chain at the α (i.e., 2‐) position of isomeric acrylates significantly slowed RAFT polymerization in comparison with OEO ester side chain of methacrylates.
