Major advantage of silane-modified systems is possibility to cross link reactive silanol groups and fortify polymer mechanical and chemical properties. However, application of modern analysis techniques and further characterization of macromolecular structure produced is complicated due to a poor solubility of silane modified polymer in various solvents. Silane modified polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) dispersions were produced by classic radical and RAFT polymerization using silane co-monomers and
