Plug-and-play aqueous electrochemical atom transfer radical polymerization

Abstract

A simplified ‘plug-and-play’ approach to aqueous electrochemical atom transfer radical polymerization (eATRP) has been developed. Well-controlled polymerization of PEGA480 (Đm = 1.17–1.31) is reported under potentiostatic (3-electrodes, undivided cell) and galvanostatic (2-electrodes, 6-steps) conditions.
