General description
Radical initiator
Application
- Polymer Chemistry: Analysis of polymer synthesis using AIBN under various conditions, with emphasis on thermal initiation properties (Suriyanarayanan & Nicholls, 2019).
- Influence of cyclodextrin on the UCST-and LCST-behavior of poly (2-methacrylamido-caprolactam)-co-(N, N-dimethylacrylamide): Explores the role of AIBN in copolymerization processes influencing polymer properties relevant to material science applications (Burkhart & Ritter, 2014).
- Preparation and characterization of polyaniline microcapsule loaded with 2, 2′‐azobis (2‐methylpropionitrile) initiator and its controlled release: Demonstrates innovative applications of AIBN in microencapsulation techniques, targeting enhanced performance in adhesive industries (Zhang et al., 2022).

Amphiphilic star shaped polymers with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) arms and cross-linked hydrophobic core were synthesized in water via either conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) or atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) techniques using a simple "arm-first" method. In FRP, PEO based

In the presence of a catalytic amount of radical initiator AIBN, primary amines are oxidatively coupled to imines and tertiary amines are cyanated to α-aminonitriles. These "metal-free" aerobic oxidative coupling reactions may find applications in a wide range of "green"

Polymers containing maleimide groups on their side chains have been synthesized by utilization of a novel styrenic monomer containing a masked-maleimide unit. AIBN initiated free radical polymerization and reverse addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was utilized for synthesis of copolymers
