Collection: Polymerization Reagents (Initiators, Catalysts, Ligands) [Biomaterials/Biocompatible Materials Research Reagents]

Polymerization Reagents (Initiators, Catalysts, Ligands) [Biomaterials/Biocompatible Materials Research Reagents] — gathers initiators, catalysts, and ligands used in controlled radical polymerization (RAFT, ATRP, NMP) as well as organocatalyzed living radical polymerization, including catalysts and initiators for conventional polymerization. These compounds control polymer chain growth so that molecular weight and product architecture can be precisely controlled.

These Polymerization Reagents are widely used by materials and biomaterials researchers to prepare block polymers, polymer brushes, and hydrogels with controlled architecture through RAFT, ATRP, and organocatalyzed living polymerization techniques. Nitrogen ligands and metal catalysts in this category support the formation of active complexes during both the initiation and propagation stages, while photolatent initiators are used in light-based curing processes for functional materials and biomedical devices.

Example products in this collection: TCI H0193 99-93-4 4'-Hydroxyacetophenone, TCI B5598 60565-88-0 Bis(4-methylphenyl)iodonium Hexafluorophosphate, TCI A0104 121-71-1 3'-Hydroxyacetophenone, TCI B5661 62051-09-6 Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium Tetrafluoroborate, TCI A0502 84-65-1 Anthraquinone, TCI B6065 870532-86-8 Bis(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl) Disulfide, TCI A0508 153277-35-1 Sodium Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate Monohydrate, TCI B6066 27249-90-7 Benzyl Benzodithioate.

Choose based on the type of reactive group (for example, RAFT agents with trithiocarbonate or dithioester groups), the purity of the metal catalyst, and storage stability before use so that polymerization results remain consistent and controlled. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
