31. We subjected the polymeric material generated by CDB-mediated polymerization of MA at 80°C toward MALDI-TOF analysis (Perseptive Voyager DE STR spectrometer). The resulting spectrum shows multiple peaks within one repeat unit, possibly because of complex ionization and fragmentation processes. These observations agree with previously reported spectra obtained via MALDI-TOF of RAFT polymers.
