Amphiphilic tertiary amine N-oxides: a mediated radical emulsion polymerization with non-formation of alkoxyamine dormant chains

Octadecylamine ethoxylate (EO = 5) N-oxides (AO-1805) were presented which are one kind of interfacial tertiary amine N-oxides that differ from TEMPO derivatives. This method took the advantage of amphiphilic alkyldiethoxylated amine oxide to form micelles, and had novel “living” characteristics based on the non-formation of dormant chains.
