Cc. Wang et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NARROW POLYDISPERSITY FULLERENE-END-CAPPED POLYSTYRENE, Polymer bulletin, 37(3), 1996, pp. 305-311
A living free radical polymerization process was adopted to synthesize
a narrow polydispersity fullerene-end-capped polystyrene(NPFECPS). Th
e UV-Vis, DSC, GPC demonstrated that fullerene(C-60) was chemically bo
nded to polystyrene successfully, and C-60 was almost monosubstituted.
The NPFECPS can be dissolved in a variety of solvents, such as THF, t
oluene, trichloromethane, and so on. The good photoconductivity is als
o found for NPFECPS.
