15. It is extremely important when applying this strategy to prepare PSblock-polyLAM to ensure that the polystyrene macro-RAFT agent is free of residual styrene monomer; otherwise, the high reactivity of styrene will result in formation of a new macro-RAFT agent with a terminal styrene unit and an extended period of slow polymerization.
