RAFT Polymerization of Styrene Mediated by Ferrocenyl-Containing RAFT Agent and Properties of the Polymer Derived from Ferrocene

“…Ferrocene is a versatile molecule with important properties, such as high electron density, aromaticity, thermal stability and redox reversibility . Ferrocene has interested a number of scientists and research groups worldwide because of its applications in material science. , Various materials containing ferrocenyl moieties have been prepared in past decades. − Among them, polymers incorporated with ferrocenyl moieties have brought some unusual and attractive characteristics, such as electrochemical, magnetic, catalytic, redoxactive and nonlinear optical properties etc. − Polymers containing ferrocene are superior candidates as redox catalysts in electrochemical assays, due to high chemical stability, decrease in interferences, good antifouling property, and good characteristic electrochemical responses. − Over the last several years, various polymers containing ferrocene moieties have been prepared. Hempenius research group synthesized poly(ferrocenylsilane) polyelectrolyte hydrogels with redox controlled swelling .…”

The effect of sulfonic acid group content in pore-filled silica colloidal membranes on their proton conductivity and direct methanol fuel cell performance

“…In order to control the sulfonic acid group content in the polymer brushes lling the pores in silica colloidal membranes, we chose 2-ethoxyethyl-methacrylate as the copolymerizing monomer because it does not contribute to proton conductivity while having the size similar to SPM, which is important for preventing any undesired steric effects. Both EEMA and SPM copolymerize successfully with other methacrylate derivatives, [31][32][33] but to the best of our knowledge, copolymerization of EEMA and SPM has not been reported. Thus, we investigated EEMA and SPM copolymerization in solution in order to establish the relative rates of polymerization for these monomers.…”
