In this study, air-blown linseed oil was styrenated by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). For this purpose, hydroperoxide groups were formed in the structure of linseed oil by blowing air through it. The oxidized oil was used as a macroinitiator in the styrenation process by RAFT technique using phenacyl morpholine dithiocarbamate (PMDC) as a RAFT agent. The obtained samples were characterized by GPC and FT-IR measurements. The effects of various parameters, such as the amount of PMDC, the number of peroxide groups, and the reaction time were investigated on polydispersity and molecular weight. For comparison, a copolymer sample was also prepared in the absence of PMDC. The film properties of all the samples were determined according to the related standards and compared. The sample obtained by the RAFT technique exhibited better film properties and a relatively narrow polydispersity, showing that the RAFT technique provides good control over the polymerization system in this study.
