Have any of you heard of using low molecular weight amines (DMA) as chain transfer agents in free radical polymerization?

It could be very helpful if any one knows common chain transfer agents and the way they work.

Hello josgop,

Although I havent used amine for that specific purpose, I am sure that they could be used for that purpose. Quaternary amines seem to be a possible candidate (although I can't say this for a broad range of cases).

Here is some extra information which may help you make a decision.

I hope this helps,
