AbstractThree azobenzene-based dithiocarbamates, 2-(phenylazo-phenoxycarbonyl) prop-2-yl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (APCDT), 2-(4-nitro-phenylazophenoxy- carbonyl)prop-2-yl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (ANPCDT), 2-(4-cyanophenylazo- phenoxy-carbonyl)pro-2-yl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (ACPCDT), were synthesized and used as RAFT agents in the polymerizations of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). The results showed that APCDT, ACPCDT and ANPCDT were effective RAFT agents for the polymerization of St. In the case of MMA, the polymerization showed hybrid behavior. The different substitutes on azobenzene moiety in dithiocarbamates did not show obvious influence on the controllability of the polymerizations. The UV and fluorescence spectra of RAFT agents and obtained azobenzene-terminated polymers were investigated

In this paper, novel magnetic nanoparticles by initiating maleic anhydride-β-cyclodextrin (MAHCD) polymerization onto the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared. Firstly, MNPs were modified by silane couple agent, and then the modified MNPs reacted with 3-benzylsulfanyl thiocarbonyl sulfanyl propionic acid chloride to obtain RAFT chain transfer modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, maleic anhydride-β-cyclodextrin (MAHCD) was prepared by the reaction of maleic anhydride with β-cyclodextrin. Finally, MNP@P(MAHCD-co-MMA) nanoparticles were prepared using MAHCD and methyl methacrylate (MMA) as monomers and modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles as chain transfer agent by RAFT in the presence of initiator AIBN. The structure and size of the MNP@P(MAHCD-co-MMA) nanoparticles were confirmed by FTIR, TGA, XRD and TEM. The results showed that the MNP@P(MAHCD-co-MMA) nanoparticles about 200 nm were successfully prepared. Moreover, the MNP@P(MAHCD-co-MMA) nanoparticles showed well adsorption property using hydroxylbenzoic acid as the guest compound. Therefore, the MNP@P(MAHCD-co-MMA) nanoparticles have the capability to adsorb suitable guest compounds, and could be used for water treatment.

RAFT dispersion polymerisation of methyl methacrylate is performed in scCO2 with 2-(dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic acid (DDMAT) present as chain transfer agent (CTA) and surprisingly shows good control over PMMA molecular weight.
