Abstract
Polyvinyl acetate has wide range of application in fibers, films and protective colloids. Because of the very high reactivity of the propagating radicals makes VAc one of the most challenging monomers for RAFT polymerization. Use of a proper RAFT agent allows synthesis of polymers with low polydispersity index (PDI) and high functionality, but high molecular weight polymers cannot be obtained because of reduced propagating rate. In this paper, some of the most important methods for obtaining linear high molecular polyvinyl acetate via RAFT method is investigated. Index terms- Polyvinyl acetate, RAFT polymerization, High Molecular Weight, Low Temperature Initiators
