Summary on Grant Application Form
ROPA - The project will explore the synthesis of branched vinyl polymers and copolymers produced by free radical propagation in the presence of balancing levels of difunctional comonomer and chain transfer agent, the latter being used to inhibit crosslinking and gelation. The branched products will be characterised in terms of molecular weight and structure, and a selected group identified to develop a physical properties/structure relationship.
