Funded Activity Summary

Accessing Chain Length Dependent Rate Coefficients in Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Polymerisations. The proposed project combines two exciting research areas, namely the chain length dependencies of kinetic coefficients and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisations. The starting point of the project will be a novel technique recently invented by our team for termination rate measurement utilizing the RAFT process. Detailed knowledge of chain length dependent rate coefficients in both homo- and copolymerisations is essential from both an academic and industrial perspective, because polymerisation kinetics not only govern the reaction rates but influence directly the polymeric material properties.
