An orthogonal approach for the synthesis of graft copolymers: Visible light induced free radical polymerization and iniferter processes
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Graft copolymers with polystyrene main and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate side chains are synthesized via an orthogonal approach combining visible light induced free radical polymerization and iniferter processes. The method relies on a deliberately designed, double functional monomer, 2,2,2-(triphenylethyl)styrene (TPES), containing both polymerizable and iniferter units.
