Results, Discussion, and Conclusions. At the completion of the polymerization, the resulting latex showed no oily layer and no visible evidence of colloidal instability. The particle size distribution was determined by capillary hydrodynamic fractionation (CHDF, Matec); the number-average diameter increased steadily with conversion, and at completion was 60.3 nm, with a polydispersity of 1.11 (the polydispersity remaining approximately constant from the first measurement at 150 min) and no evidence of new particle formation. Figure 2 shows GPC traces of the latex at different conversions. The peak after∼ 28.5 min corresponds to solvent and other low molecular weight species; that at∼ 27 min is the macro RAFT agent. Figure 3 shows the values of Mh n (relative to styrene standards) and Mh w/Mh n as functions of conversion based on the total amount of monomer added. Mh n increases linearly with mass of polymer, as expected if molecular weight control were maintained, although the appearance of a small shoulder at high molecular weight at the highest conversion
