Stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)2; 92.5–100%), anhydrous toluene (99.8%), deuterated chloroform (CDCl3; 99.8% D), deuterium oxide (D2O; 99.9% D), lithium chloride (LiCl; 99%) and ε- caprolactone (ε-CL; 97%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. ε-CL was dried under vacuum (0.1 mbar) for 1 h prior to use. α-Methoxy-ω-hydroxy PEG with Mn of 2 kDa (PEG2) and 5 kDa (PEG5) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, and 10 kDa (PEG10) from Creative PEG Works. PEG2 and PEG5 were dried at 120 °C under vacuum (0.1 mbar) for 1 h prior to use. Analytical grade diethyl ether, chloroform, toluene, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetone and hexane were purchased from Chem-Supply. All reagents were used as received unless otherwise stated. For DLS experiments, ultrapure water with a resistivity of > 18.2 MΩ.cm was obtained from a Sartorius Arium® ultrapure water purification system. For Synchrotron SAXS experiments, ultrapure water with a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ∙cm, interfacial tension of 72.4 mN∙m−1 at 22°C, and less than 4 ppb of total organic carbon was obtained from a Milli-Q Advantage A10 water purification system.
Toluene
Manufactured by Chem-Supply
Toluene is a colorless, flammable liquid organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH3. It is widely used as a solvent and in the production of benzene, acetone, and other chemicals.

Poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEO MA, average Mn ≈ 480) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received. Styrene (Sty, Aldrich, 99%) was passed through a column of Al2O3 to remove the inhibitor. The RAFT agent, 2-[[(butylsulfanyl)-carbonothioyl]sulfanyl] propanoic acid (PABTC), was synthesized as described in ref. 60 (link). 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (V501, >98%, Aldrich) was used as received. Acrylamide (AAM, Sigma-Aldrich, ≥98%), N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAM, Sigma-Aldrich, ≥99.5%)), methanol (Fluka), basic alumina (Al2O3, Brockman activity I, 60–325 mesh), N,N,N′,N′- tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED, Sigma-Aldrich, 99%), were all used as received. 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (γ -MAPS) was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Toluene was obtained from Chem-Supply (Gillman, SA, AUS). Potassium persulfate (KPS, M&B, 98%) was recrystallized from water.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
