Wako, 037-24651, 2-{[(2-Carboxyethyl)sulfanylthiocarbonyl]sulfanyl}propanoic Acid

This product is for research use only. Do not administer it to human., This is a trithiocarbonate-type RAFT agent with a carboxy group on the both terminals, suitable for polymerization of styrene, acrylic acid, and acrylamide., RAFT polymerization is a technique of controlled living radical polymerization allowing synthesis of polymers with a narrow range of molecular weight distribution. Among the controlled living radical polymerizations, RAFT polymerization has advantages: applicable to a variety of radical polymerizable monomers; the reaction system contains no halogen and heavy metal; etc.
