Ternary control over molecular weight, tacticity, and time was achieved in the polymerization of acrylamides by photo-induced organotellurium-mediated radical polymerization (TERP) in the presence of Y(OTf)3 or Yb(OTf)3 as an acid catalyst.

As a chain transfer agent, 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene (αMSD) was first introduced in the emulsion binary copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA) based on an irreversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (AFCT) mechanism. The effects of αMSD on molecular weight and its distribution, the degree of polymerization, polymerization rate, monomer conversion, particle size, and tensile properties of the formed latexes were systematically investigated. Its potential chain transfer mechanism was also explored according to the 1H NMR analysis. The results showed that the increase in the content of αMSD could lead to a decline in molecular weight, its distribution, and the degree of polymerization. The mass percentage of MMA in the synthesized polymers was also improved as the amounts of αMSD increased. The chain transfer coefficients of αMSD for MMA and BA were 0.62 and 0.47, respectively. The regulation mechanism of αMSD in the emulsion polymerization of acrylates was found to be consistent with Yasummasa’s theory. Additionally, monomer conversion decreased greatly to 47.3% when the concentration of αMSD was higher than 1 wt% due to the extremely low polymerization rate. Moreover, the polymerization rate was also decreased probably due to the desorption and lower reactivity of the regenerative radicals from αMSD. Finally, the tensile properties of the resulting polyacrylate films were significantly affected due to the presence of αMSD.

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.

A kind of enteric-coated pharmaceutical coating material, which can be dissolved in pH>5.5 medium, was successfully prepared by pre-emulsionsemi-continuous polymerization methods with equal molecular mass of methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate as main raw materials. The effects of the initiator and chain transfer agent on the molecular weight and the performance of the emulsion were discussed. The obtained compound was used as the coating material of Lansoprazole capsule, and the dissolution rate was measured. The results show that polymethacrylat emulsion with 1.83×105 of molecular weight was obtained when the dosage of the initiator and the chain transfer agent is 0.43% and 0.79% of the total monomer mass, respectively. The dissolution rate of Lansoprazole capsule coated polymethacrylat emulsion in the pH 6.8 medium was greater than 75%.
