Abstract

We demonstrate that ultrafast RAFT in the presence of air can be scaled down to 2 μL with good control using microvolume insert vials as the polymerisation vessel. By careful cooling and mixing of the sequential monomers, well-defined pentablock copolymers were generated with a final volume of 10 μL.
