Activators Regenerated by Electron Transfer for Atom‐Transfer Radical Polymerization of (Meth)acrylates and Related Block Copolymers

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Staying active: The title method allows continuous and controlled polymerization with significantly less Cu catalyst than is required for conventional atom-transfer radical polymerization (as low as 10−3 mol % vs. monomer). The CuI activator is constantly regenerated by a reducing agent, which compensates for any loss of CuI as a result of radical termination reactions (see scheme).
