Abstract

Well-defined sulfur-containing polymers and block copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of S-vinyl sulfide derivatives, in which the thioether moiety is directly connected to the vinyl group. We initially investigated RAFT polymerization of four different S-vinyl sulfide derivatives, phenyl vinyl sulfide (PVS), 4-chlorophenyl vinyl sulfide (CPVS), 2, 4-dichlorophenyl vinyl sulfide ( ...
