A facile one pot strategy for the synthesis of well-defined polyacrylates from acrylic acid via RAFT polymerization†
Abstract
A facile one pot strategy for the preparation of linear and hyperbranched polyacrylates has been successfully developed by the combination of in situ esterification of acrylic acid with halogenated compounds promoted by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) and RAFT polymerization.
