Abstract
Biodegradable, sustainable and biocompatible natural poly([R]-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) has been modified by 1-hexanol through transesterification to form a mono-hydroxylated PHB, which reacted with thiocarbonylthio compound to generate macro mono-hydroxylated PHB chain transfer agent (CTA) for RAFT polymerization with DMAEMA monomer. Kinetic processes of transesterification reaction and RAFT polymerization were carefully investigated.
