Abstract Atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a well-known technique for controlled polymer synthesis. However, the ATRP usually employed toxic heavy metal ionas as catalyst and was susceptible to molecular oxygen, which made it should be conducted under strictly anoxic condition. Conducting ambient biocompatible conditions major challenge. In this study, cytochrome C explored an effi...

This short review article summarizes recent reports on using controlled radical polymerization (CRP) of inimers (compounds containing initiating group and vinyl group in one molecule) or transmers (compounds containing chain transfer group and vinyl group in one molecule) for the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers. These inimers and transmers that carry numerous functional groups could be homo...

One of the simplest and powerful Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP) techniques is atom transfer radical polymerization. It has been widely studied utilized since new polymeric materials synthesis using novel structures can be achieved by polymerizing many monomers under simple conditions. Polymers with low polydispersity controlled molecular weight obtained ATRP technique it synthetic flex...

in atom transfer radical polymerization (atrp) of methyl acrylate (ma) with polyvinyl acetate macroinitiator in bulk at 90°c the plots of ln [m]0/[m] increased linearly with reaction time. the apparent propagation rate constant (kp app) of the reaction was obtained from the linear curve and used to calculate the free macroradical concentration ([r°]) in polymerization medium. the [r°] and also ...

Abstract: When the size of a polymerization locus is smaller than a few hundred nanometers, such as in miniemulsion polymerization, each locus may contain no more than one key-component molecule, and the concentration may become much larger than the corresponding bulk polymerization, leading to a significantly different rate of polymerization. By focusing attention on the component having the l...

A series of mono-functionalized metallo-porphyrin polystyrenes have been synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization and their self-assembling behavior was studied by electron microscopy showing that the polystyrene tail-length influences the aggregate architecture.
