Reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymer nanocomposites

Polymer-linked MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). The RAFT reagent was successfully grafted on to the surface of MWCNTs and PS chains were grafted from MWCNTs via RAFT polymerization [192], By covalently linking acyl chloride functions of functionalized MWCNTs with living polystyryllithium, Huang et al. succeeded in the preparation of polystyrene-functionalized MWCNTs (Scheme 1.32) [193],...

A major application is the synthesis of high molecular weight water-soluble polymers (e.g., polymers and copolymers of acrylamide, acrylic acid, and its salts) for flocculants and tertiary oil recovery. Other uses are the synthesis of polyaniline/CdSe quantum dots composites [49], hybrid polyaniline/carbon nanotube nanocomposites [50], polyani-line-montmorillonite nanocomposites [51], or in reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer-controlled radical polymerization (RAFT) [52].
