Automated parallel synthesis of MADIX (Co)Polymers
An automated parallel synthetic approach has been developed for synthesizing polymer libranes by the Macromolecular Design via the Interchange of xanthates (MADX) process. The experiment set-up, parallel polymerizations, characterization, and reproducibility tests are detailed. Examples of acrylic diblock copolymers systhesized in this way are given.
