Organobismuthane-mediated radical polymerization

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013366",
  "term": "Organobismuthane-mediated radical polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A reversible-deactivation radical polymerization technique that uses organobismuth compounds as chain transfer agents. These agents reversibly cleave and reform carbon-bismuth bonds, allowing for controlled growth of polymer chains. This method provides good control over molecular weight and polydispersity, typically yielding polymers with polydispersity indices below 1.5.",
