Ultrafast Thermal RAFT Depolymerization at Higher Solid Contents.

Although thermal solution RAFT depolymerization has recently emerged as an efficient chemical recycling methodology, current approaches require specialized solvents (i.e., dioxane), typically suffer from extended reaction times, and operate exclusively under highly dilute conditions (i.

Synthesis and Characterization of Statistical and Block Copolymers of n-Hexyl Isocyanate and 3-(Triethoxysilyl) Propyl Isocyanate via Coordination Polymerization.

Well-defined statistical copolymers of n-hexyl isocyanate, HIC, and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate, TESPI, were synthesized via coordination polymerization mechanism, employing a chiral half-titanocene complex as initiator. The monomer reactivity ratios of the statistical copolymers were calculated using linear graphical methods and the computer program COPOINT in the frame of the terminal model. The molecular and structural characteristics of the copolymers were also calculated.
