A method of direct switching from anionic polymerization into RAFT-based polymerization was developed. The transformation involved in situ addition of living carbanionic species, end-capped with DPE, toward CS 2 and subsequent reaction with alkyl bromides, resulting in macro-RAFT agents (macro-CTAs). The macro-CTAs were used to mediate RAFT polymerization of (functional) vinyl monomers. These processes were performed in a continuous way without isolation of the intermediate. Diblock or ABA-type triblock copolymers, composed of polydiene segment and functional acrylate (2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, HEA) or acrylamide (N-isopropylacrylamide, NIPAM), were synthesized by RAFT polymerization mediated by PI macro-CTAs. The successful preparation of block copolymers was demonstrated by the self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymer PI 75 -b-PNIPAM 199 in water (selective solvent for PNIPAM) or heptane (selective solvent for PI). The obtained block copolymers are cleavable into homopolymer components due to the presence of the thiocarbonylthio moieties at their joint points. The block copolymers are also "clickable" as a whole onto Au nanoparticles through Au−sulfur complexation.
