“…Systems studied by mass spectrometry include (polymer/ RAFT agents): PNIPAM/20,22, [78] PNIPAM/39,40, [93] PVAc/49, [48] PS/21, [126] PS/69, [106] PMMA/8,11, [100] PBA/ 57,63, [127] PMA/21,22,24, [81,83] PEA/79, [49] and poly-(acenaphthalene)/81. [128] ESI is a softer ionization technique than MALDI-TOF and is more likely to leave the end groups intact to be observed in the mass spectrum.…”
