Abstract

The polymerization of MMA mediated by symmetric trithiocarbonate as a reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer agent is studied. It is shown that the process proceeds according to the two-stage pseudoliving radical mechanism. The polymeric reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer agent is more efficient than its low-molecular-mass analog. The use of the polymeric reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer agent makes it possible to synthesize narrowly dispersed homopolymers of MMA and related copolymers with a controllable molecular mass. Both chain-transfer agents have practically no effect on the initial rate of copolymerization but allow weakening or even suppression of the gel effect at high conversions.
