From the beginning… there was RAFT. Then there were emulsions (updated 8/Nov)

Ab initio RAFT emulsion polymerization mediated by small cationic RAFT agents to form polymers with low molar mass dispersity

Cleavage, conversion kinetics (say that 10 times fast)

Copolymerization of Pentafluorophenylmethacrylate with Hydrophilic Methacrylamide Monomers Induces Premature Hydrolytic Cleavage

48 reactors containing various emulsions

All shook up!

In August the RAMP centre did a bit of work to determine whether a particular type of polymerization could be successfully made by emulsion polymerization. We undertook this work in the Chemspeed SwingXL platform fitted with an 8mL Isynth reactor block, and lots of agitation.
