Dispersion polymerisation in supercritical CO2 using macro-RAFT agents

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Dec 7:(45):5942-4. doi: 10.1039/b812827h. Epub 2008 Oct 9.

Abstract

Fluorinated macro-RAFT agents can act as in situ stabilisers while exhibiting good control over block copolymers formed by dispersion polymerisation in supercritical CO2 to yield well-defined spherical particles with a fluorinated "halo".
