dc.descriptionThesis (MSc (Chemistry and Polymer Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
dc.description.abstractThis thesis begins with the description of the preparation of thirteen dithioesters (of the form Z- (C=S)-S-R) which were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV). The dithioesters were then used as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediating agents in the bulk polymerization of styrene, in order to observe differences in the kinetic behaviour of the polymerizations and, as a result, the efficiencies of the dithioesters in mediating the polymerizations.en_ZA
