Controlled Synthesis of Optoelectronic Polymers by RAFT Polymerization

摘要

This work presents the controlled radical polymerization of various N-vinyl monomers involving NVC, 2MNVIn, and NVPI using suitable xanthate-type CTAs. This methodology was successfully applied for the synthesis of well-defined optoelectronic polymers with complex architectures, such as block copolymers, star polymers, and amphiphilic star block copolymers. This work substantially broadens and extends the scope of the polymers having nitrogen-containing heterocyclic moieties, in which precise control of the molecular weight, polydispersity, topology, composition, and functions can be achieved using controlled radical polymerization technique.
