Abstract: | Rapid living free‐radical polymerization of methyl acrylate under 60Co γ‐ray irradiation in the presence of benzyl 1H‐imidazole‐1‐carbodithioate at room temperature is reported. The results showed that the polymerization is a fast living process, and that the molecular weight of the polymer is as high as 39 600 g mol?1 at 68 % conversion with Mw/Mn = 1.09 within 68 min. The polymerization rate was markedly influenced by the structures of thiocarbonylthio compounds. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry |
