Abstract
Understanding the influence of salt/counterion on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is important to optimize the conditions for ATRP of ionic monomers, such as ionic liquid monomer. This article reports the results of a systematical investigation of the variables associated with ATRP in the presence of different types and amounts of salts, solvents, ligands, and monomers. A series of control ATRP experiments were conducted under various polymerization conditions. The kinetics of the polymerizations, the molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution of the formed polymers were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography. The results indicated that all of the studied variables influenced the ATRP process to different degrees. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2014, 52, 2175–2184
