- Abstract:
- The application of combinatorial and high-throughput approaches in polymer research is described. An overview of the
utilized synthesis robots is given, including different parallel synthesizers and a process development robot. In addition, the
application of the parallel synthesis robots to reversible addition fragmentation termination (RAFT) radical polymerizations and
ionic copolymerizations is overviewed. Moreover, first results concerning the process development of semi-batch free radical
polymerizations are described.
