POLYMER TECHNOLOGIES
SPECIALTY POLYMERS
In collaboration with CSIRO, our block copolymers are synthesised using RAFT polymerisation; a CSIRO patented technology.
Due to its compatibility with conventional polymerisation reactors, RAFT is a scalable manufacturing process that allows for facile synthesis of these block copolymers, affording control over polymer design and size.
RAFT is free radical polymerisation performed in the presence of a RAFT chain transfer agent. It is a small organic molecule which when chosen appropriately, controls the polymer chain growth during the polymerisation process.
