Abstract

Abstract We report here the synthesis of well-defined homopolymer bearing amino acid diamide, poly (N-acryloyl-L-valine N′-methylamide), via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using alkynyl-functionalized 2- dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonylsulfanyl-2-methyl-propionic acid propargyl alcohol ester as chain transfer agent (CTA) and 2, 2′-azobis (isobutyronitrile) as initiator. The effects of a ...
