Abstract
Hydrophilic polymer brushes based on poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (P(PEGA454)) or poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (P(PEGMA475)), both having a trithiocarbonate end group, were prepared in water-dioxane (9 : 1) at 44?C via RAFT polymerization, and subsequently used in RAFT dispersion polymerization of styrene in isopropanol at 90?C. RAFT reaction conditions were first optimized to prepare P(PEGA454) and P(PEGMA475) macro-RAFT agents at high monomer conversions (>90 ) and very low fraction of dead chains (
