POLYMERIC MATERIALS BY ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION (ATRP)
Keywords:
Atom transfer radical polymerization, Block copolymers, Graft copolymers, Functional polymersAbstract
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most effective methods to polymerize a variety of monomers in a living fashion, yielding polymers with predetermined molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distributions and with well-defined structure. Moreover, because of its radical nature, ATRP is tolerant to many functionalities in monomers leading to polymer with functionalities along the chains. Therefore, ATRP technique is recently applied to develop various polymers, which is suitable for different applications. This review article describes the fundamental of ATRP and provides examples of polymeric materials synthesized successfully by ATRP.
