Catalyst transfer polymerization
A LIVING, CONTROLLED CHAIN-GROWTH METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING [PI]-CONJUGATED POLYMERS
Living chain-growth polycondensation; Catalyst transfer polycondensation
Catalyst transfer polymerization (CTP), or Catalyst Transfer Polycondensation, is a type of living chain-growth polymerization that is used for synthesizing conjugated polymers. Benefits to using CTP over other methods are low polydispersity and control over number average molecular weight in the resulting polymers.
