Abstract
Using catalytic chain transfer polymerisation (CCTP) in emulsion polymerisation results in efficient molecular weight reduction. An additional benefit of polymers prepared with CCTP is that they have a chain terminal unsaturated group that can be used in a subsequent graft copolymerisation to yield comb-shaped polymer chains. By careful optimisation of the polymer parameters, film properties can be optimised to yield coatings with very interesting combinations of properties.
