Follow on: Design Polymers

在EPSRC授权GR/S67470中开发的过程可逆加成断裂链转移（RAFT）聚合的机理和动力学的研究：走向高度通用的RAFT试剂的设计”）将允许生产新的聚合介质，这些介质可以在反应后回收和重新使用，并允许生产具有受控官能度和可预测分子量的聚合物--“设计者聚合物”。通过使用这样的介质获得的聚合物产品将在各种商业应用中与工业合作开发，从本体聚合物生产到医疗保健和个人护理产品。

The process developed in EPSRC grant GR/S67470 ('Investigation of the mechanism and kinetics of Reversible Addition Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerisation: Toward the design of highly versatile RAFT agents') will allow the production of new polymerisation mediators that can be recovered and re-used after reaction, and permit the production of polymers of controlled functionality and predictable molecular weight - `designer polymers'. The polymeric products obtained through the use of such mediators will be exploited in partnership with industries in a variety of commercial applications, from bulk polymer production to healthcare and personal care products.
