Description
For a synthetic protocol using NMP initiators, contributed by Prof. Karen Wooley, please visit ourtechnology spotlight.TEMPO (2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) was used for trapping the styrenyl radical generated from benzoyl peroxide during nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of styrene. TEMPO-mediated oxidation was employed for the carboxylation of water-resistant nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) films.Stable nitroxide radical useful in controlling living polymerizations
