One of the versatile radical polymerisation techniques, the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process, was used to synthesize the bifunctional monomer, vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) into poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC). The RAFT polymerisation technique is widely used because of...
