RAFT (Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer) is a form of living radical polymerization involving conventional free radical polymerization of a substituted monomer in the presence of a suitable chain transfer (RAFT) reagent. Use of the appropriate RAFT agent and polymerization conditions allows for the synthesis of polymers with low PDI and high functionality.

Procedures of RAFT polymerization as performed by researchers at CSIRO.
Uses methyl methacrylate (MMA, Catalog Number M55909) as the monomer, AIBN (Catalog Number 441090) as the initiator, and a RAFT agent (Catalog Number 722987 or 723274).
Researchers at CSIRO have tested select RAFT agents in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and analyzed the resulting polymers. The data are presented in Table 1.

Uses vinyl acetate (Catalog Number V1503) as the monomer, AIBN (Catalog Number 441090) as the initiator, and a RAFT agent (Catalog Number 723002).
Researchers at CSIRO have tested select RAFT agents in the polymerization of vinyl acetate and analyzed the resulting polymer. The data are presented in Table 2.
