By conducting identical TBRTs over a broad temperature range, the role of temperature in telomer formation and branching has been evaluated. Elevated temperature limits telomer length, thereby allowing a >10% reduction in the amount of telogen required to produce near identical high molecular weight branched polymers.RSC advances31424-31431https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9627727biostudies-literatureUsing temperature to modify the reaction conditions and outcomes of polymers formed using transfer-dominated branching radical telomerisation (TBRT).PMC9627727Cassin SRRannard SPMckeating SChambon PFlynn SPenrhyn-Lowe OBWright SLomas SfalseUsing temperature to modify the reaction conditions and outcomes of polymers formed using transfer-dominated branching radical telomerisation (TBRT).Transfer-dominated Branching Radical Telomerisation (TBRT) enables the production of branched polymers with step-growth backbones using radical telomerisation chemistry.
