MACRO-RAFT CHAIN TRANSFER AGENTS AS ANIONIC POLYMERIZATION TERMINATORS

摘要

The present invention relates to a compound of Formula (I): where {circle around (P)} R, R¹, R², R³, and Z are as described herein and to a process for preparing a compound of Formula (I). This invention also relates to a process for the synthesis of a polymer which includes providing a monomer composition, providing a compound of Formula (I), and polymerizing monomers within the monomer composition through controlled free radical polymerization with the compound of Formula (I) to form the polymer.;
