Controlled ATRP of N-Hydroxysuccinimide Methacrylate and its Block Copolymer Synthesis
The present paper reports the controlled polyemrization of MASI using CuCl/N-benzyl-2-pyridylmethanimine (NBPM)/ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (EBrIB) as initiator. Poly(MASI) of narrow PDI (~1. 10) and high molecular weight with monomer conversion up to 90% were obtained. The end groups of the polymer remained active throughout the polymerization due to stronger carbon-chlorine bond. Thus
