Abstract

The MADIX polymerization of vinyl acetate in the green solvent ethyl acetate allows near-complete monomer conversion, high molecular weights and targeting of molecular weight to be achieved. High-molecular-weight poly(vinyl acetate) up to Mn = 100,000 Da was synthesized by this facile method.
