Abstract As a new attempt to the aim of training practical talents, the comprehensive polymer chemistry experiment of sunlight induced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was designed base on the idea of inquiry teaching. The RAFT polymerization of 2-vinylpyridine was successfully carried out under the irridation of sunlight in the only presence of S-1-dodecyl-S'-(α,α″-dimethyl-α″-aceticacid). The sunlight was applied ingeniously in the RAFT polymerization. This study found that the RAFT polymerization had obvious phenomena and the experiment could be performed in an easier way.
