A novel functional dithiocarbamate, ClBTD, comprising both chloromethyl and thiocarbonyl groups, was successfully synthesized and used to mediate the RAFT polymerizations of St and MA. The obtained polymer was functionalized with chloromethyl and thiocarbonyl groups at the alpha- and omega-ends of the polymer chain, respectively. The obtained polymer was directly used as macroinitiator to conduct ATRP chain extension experiment with NIPAAM as the second monomer, which resulted in poor control of the polymerization. After the thiocarbonyl group in the polymer chain end was fully removed by reaction with excess of AIBN, the recovered polymer was successfully used as macroinitiator in St/NIPAAM block copolymerization.
