PROCESS FOR PREPARING A POLYMER

摘要

This application relates to a process of radical polymerization of a monomer, wherein the radical polymerization is carried out in the presence of a photoredox catalyst and a chain transfer agent. This application also relates to a process for preparing a polymer, comprising exposing a mixture comprising a monomer, an initiator, a chain transfer agent and a photoredox catalyst, to light, wherein exposing the mixture to light initiates radical polymerization of the monomer. The application also relates to polymers produced by these processes and polymerization systems suitable for carrying out these processes.
