Syntheses of benzhydryl 2-propanoyl-functionalized trithiocarbonates and its use as chain transfer agents in the RAFT polymerization of styrene

Glucose-sensitive poly(ether sulfone) composite membranes blended with phenylboronic acid-based amphiphilic block copolymer for self-regulated insulin release

“…The results indicated that PS-CDTPA was successfully synthesized. 31,32 1 H NMR spectrum of PSNA showed chemical shifts at 7.1–7.8 ppm assigned to phenyl protons on the PS block, and chemical shifts at 4.2 ppm and 1.4 ppm assigned to the –CH and –CH 3 on NIPAM, respectively. 30 1 H NMR spectrum of PSNB showed new chemical shifts at 8.15 ppm assigned to –OH on the PBA block.…”

Photo‐ and pH‐Responsive Hybrid Colloidal Particles

“…The RAFT process goes under mild conditions and allows for the preparation of polymers with predictable average molecular weights. [6,7] Different chain transfer agents (CTA) are used to control the molecular weight of growing polymer chains; they remain as active chain ends afterwards. [8] Stimuli-responsive materials change in their shapes or physical Stimuli-responsive materials change in their shape or physical properties in response to variations in environmental conditions.…”

“…Surface‐initiated RAFT polymerization is arguably the most versatile technique for the surface functionalization of particles. The RAFT process goes under mild conditions and allows for the preparation of polymers with predictable average molecular weights [6,7] . Different chain transfer agents (CTA) are used to control the molecular weight of growing polymer chains; they remain as active chain ends afterwards [8] …”
