Synthesis of homo- and copolymer containing sulfonic acid via atom transfer radical polymerization
Well-defined functional poly(p-phenyl styrenesulfonate) and poly(p-phenyl styrene-sulfonate-co-styrene) were successfully synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using CuBr/bpy(PMDETA) catalyst and 1-phenylethyl bromide (1-PEBr) as

Multi‐Responsive PAA/PNIPAM Semi‐IPN Hydrogel Properties Controlled by PAA Topology
Polymer topology governs hydrogel behavior in semi‐interpenetrating networks. Cyclic poly(acrylic acid) enables controlled pH‐responsive swelling, improved stability, and enhanced deformability compared to linear analogues, while linear systems show higher strength during thermal de‐swelling.

Schematic diagram of RAFT polymerization of acrylate monomers. ABSTRACT This study reports the synthesis of a macro‐RAFT agent based on poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) (PCL) via ring‐opening polymerization (ROP), which was subsequently used to prepare acrylate‐based block and block‐graft copolymers through RAFT polymerization.

How are Radicals (Re)Generated in Photochemical ATRP? [PDF]
The polymerization mechanism of photochemically mediated Cu-based atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated using both experimental and kinetic modeling techniques. There are several distinct pathways that can lead to photochemical (re)
