Controlled free -radical polymerization at high pressures: Synthesis and properties of poly(α-substituted acrylates)
The free-radical polymerization of a series of α-substituted acrylic acid derivatives has been achieved by using hydrostatic pressure as a kinetic and thermodynamic driving force. It is shown that conducting polymerization in a range of pressures between 1 and 9 kbar dramatically improves the polyme...
