Abstract:

A double-functional reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization(RAFT) agent p-xylylene di(N-carbazylcarbodithioate)(PXCBD) was synthesized with carbazole and 1,4-bis(chloro-methyl)benzene as main material. With PXCBD as a chain transfer agent, the well-defined triblock and pen-tablock polymers were controllably synthesized by RAFT polymerization of styrene, methyl acrylate and N,N-dibutylacrylamide. The fluorescence characteristic of PXCBD and polymers prepared by PXCBD were studied. The results show that PXCBD as RAFT agent possesses good control ability and can be used to synthesize fluorescence-labelled polymers with well-defined structure.

Key words: Para-Xylylene di(N-carbazylcarbodithioate); Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization(RAFT) agent; Block copolymer; Fluorescence-labelled
