Abstract:Photoinduced 3D printing based on the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process has emerged as a robust method for creating diverse functional materials. However, achieving precise control over the mechanical properties of these printed objects remains a critical challenge for practical application. Here, we demonstrated a RAFT step‐growth polymerization of a bifunctional xanthate and bifunctional vinyl acetate. Additionally, we demonstrated photoinduced 3D printing through RAFT step‐grow… Show more
“…Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) step-growth polymerization is a new polymerization technique proposed by You et al [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] It uses bifunctional alkenes and RAFT chain-transfer agents (CTAs) as the monomers, which efficiently yield single monomer unit insertion (SUMI) adducts via a chain-transfer cycle. 54,56 Therefore, it may combine the merits of step-growth polymerization and RAFT polymeriz-ation.…”
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) step-growth polymerization was exploited to prepare fluorinated polyesters, and their thermal and surface properties were correlated with the chemical structures.
