Abstract: Nitroxide mediated radical polymerization(NMRP) was employed to synthesize polystyrene in the presence of TEMPO irradiated with UV light at 50 ℃. The polymerization exhibited the characteristic of a controlled polymerization. In comparison with the thermal-initiated polymerization, the condition of UV-irradiated polymerization is milder and the rate is faster. The photopolymerization can be realized at 50 ℃ and the conversion can reach 99% within 10 h. The influence of concentration of photo-initiator and light intensity was discussed. The molecular weight can be controlled in the range of 3×104—1×105 and the higher light intensity is good for controlling the polymerization.

Key words: UV-irradiated polymerization, Nitroxide mediated radical polymerization(NMRP), Styrene
