New hydrocarbon stabilisers for dispersion polymerisation in supercritical carbon dioxide

This thesis details the synthesis of highly C02-soluble hydrocarbon stabilisers using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation techniques, and their application in the dispersion polymerisation of N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scC02). Chapte...
