Abstract
AbstractWe have developed a novel strategy for the preparation of ion‐bonded supramolecular star polymers by RAFT polymerization. An ion‐bonded star supramolecule with six functional groups was prepared from a triphenylene derivative containing tertiary amino groups and trithiocarbonate carboxylic acid, and used as the RAFT agent in polymerizations of tert‐butyl acrylate (tBA) and styrene (St). Molecular weights and structures of the polymers were characterized by 1H NMR and GPC. The results show that the polymerization possesses the character of living free‐radical polymerization and the ion‐bonded supramolecular star polymers PSt, PtBA, and PSt‐b‐PtBA, with six well‐defined arms, were successfully synthesized.magnified image
