We present the synthesis, characterization and photolytical degradation of branched photo-responsive poly(acrylic acid) and polystyrene using free radical polymerization of acrylic acid/styrene in the presence of a newly synthesized asymmetric o-nitrobenzyl-based crosslinker and different amounts of dodecanethiol (DDT) as a chain transfer agent.

We present the synthesis of branched poly(butyl acrylate)s using photo-induced free radical polymerization of (n/t)-butyl acrylate in the presence of tri(propylene glycol) diacrylate (TPGDA) as a crosslinker and varying amounts of dodecanethiol (DDT) as a chain transfer agent to prevent macroscopic gelation.

Poly(acrylic acid) gels synthesized via free-radical polymerization of acrylic acid and high molarities of salt show properties quite different from such gels synthesized without salt. Enhanced properties include increased extensibility and modulus.
