Assembly of a visible light photoreactor: an inexpensive tool for bottlebrush polymer synthesis via photoiniferter polymerization
Abstract
We report the design of a simple, inexpensive photoreactor for photoiniferter polymerization of vinyl monomers mediated by thiocarbonylthio compounds. This photoreactor allowed for the synthesis of block copolymers and well-defined bottlebrush polymers by grafting-from and grafting-through.
