Narrow molecular weight resins by a free radical polymerization process
- Xerox Research Centre, Ontario (Canada)
Narrow molecular weight resins have been synthesized by a free radical polymerization process with polydispersities comparable to those that can be achieved by an anionic polymerization process. In comparison with anionic polymerization, this free radical polymerization process has the advantage of not requiring purified reagents and can be performed in the bulk, in solution or in suspension. High monomer to polymer conversions have been achieved and, under appropriate conditions, the reaction can be performed in approximately 5 hours. The reaction has been applied towards the synthesis of monomodal and multimodal polymers with well defined modalities, as well as, block copolymers in which each of the blocks has a narrow polydispersity.
