Unimolecular ligand–initiator dual functional systems (ULIS) for low copper ATRP of vinyl monomers including acrylic/methacrylic acids

Abstract

A novel approach for ATRP has been developed which enables the polymerization of vinyl monomers including those bearing carboxylic acid groups such as acrylic/methacrylic acid in the free acid form with ppm amounts of copper. The quantity of copper used in the polymerization is comparable to those left in purified polymers obtained by a conventional ATRP process.
