RAFT Polymerization of 2?( <i>tert</i> ?Butoxycarbonyloxy)Ethyl Methacrylate and Transformation to Functional Polymers via Deprotection and the Subsequent Polymer Reactions

Front Cover: In article number 2100336 by Akikazu Matsumoto and co-workers, RAFT polymerization of the BOC-protected 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate was carried out to control molecular weight, polydispersity, chain-end groups, sequence structure block copolymers. The hydroxy-containing polymers produced acid-catalyzed deprotection were converted precursors for a thermally curing polymer network system.
