Abstract

An experimental study on the kinetics of the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion copolymerization with crosslinking of styrene and divinylbenzene in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) is presented. This is the first time that such a controlled polymer network synthesis is carried out in scCO₂. S-Thiobenzoyl thioglycolic acid (TBTGA) and dibenzoyl peroxide were used as RAFT agent and initiator, respectively. The polymerizations were carried out in a high pressure cell with lateral sapphire windows at 80°C. The effect of RAFT agent concentration, including the case without RAFT controller, on polymerization rate, molecular weight development, gel fraction, swelling index, and particle morphology was analysed.
