Li, Xiaohua; Xue, Yang; Ma, Xinyu; Guo, Ruiwei published their research in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics in 2021. The article was titled 《Direct Determination of Interchain Transfer Constants of Benzyl Acrylate to Poly(Ethyl Acrylate) by RAFT Polymerization and Polymer Chromatography》.Application In Synthesis of Benzyl acrylate The article contains the following contents:
Interchain transfer is an important side reaction in radical polymerization of acrylates and has significant effects on both reaction kinetics and the resulting polymer microstructures. In this study, an effective method for direct determination of the interchain transfer constant (Ctr) is established via the combination of RAFT polymerization of a monomer in the presence of another prepared polymer and subsequent separation using polymer chromatog. The Ctr of benzyl acrylate (BzA) to poly(Et acrylate) (PEA) is determined with benzyl N-carbazole dithiocarbamate (BCBD) as the RAFT agent and the effects of polymerization recipe, such as BzA/BCBD mole ratios, BzA/PEA mass ratios, and solvent amounts on Ctr determination investigated. The results indicate that interchain transfer reactions show clear short chain radical effects in early stage of RAFT polymerization and the exptl. recipes have little influence on the determination The Ctr values are in the range of 1-2 x 10-4 at 90-120°C and the activation energy of Ctr at 47.8 kJ mol-1. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found Benzyl acrylate(cas: 2495-35-4Application In Synthesis of Benzyl acrylate)
Benzyl acrylate(cas: 2495-35-4) has been used in preparation of high refractive index polyacrylates. Benzyl acrylate is used in the preparation of heptanoic acid benzyl ester. It is used to prepare polybenzylacrylate using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator.Application In Synthesis of Benzyl acrylate
