RAFT polymerization of an alkoxyamine bearing acrylate, towards a well-defined redox active polyacrylate

Abstract

A new strategy for the synthesis of a well-defined redox active polymer, a polyacrylate bearing TEMPO, and its grafting onto a gold substrate is described.

Radical polymers in optoelectronic and spintronic applications

“…Performing RAFT polymerizations at acidic pH would minimize this problem; however, the TMPM hydrochloride monomers only polymerized up to ∼60% polymer conversion. 36 Protecting the radical moiety of hydroxy-TEMPO with a methyl 37 or phenyl 38 functionality is another solution to these problems. Thus, Blinco and co-workers have demonstrated the synthesis of PTMA by RAFT polymerization of methoxyamine-protected TEMPO methacrylate (MTMA) and subsequent cleavage of the temperature-stable methoxyamine functionality by oxidative treatment of PMTMA with meta -chloroperbenzoic acid.…”

Beyond conventional batteries: a review on semi-solid and redox targeting flow batteries-LiFePO4 as a case study

“…The first polymers reported as charge storage materials were polyaniline (PANI), poly (vinylbenzylethylviologene) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO), this opened the door to further develop new high-performance polymers for RFBs application. 18,104–113…”
