Abstract

Block copolymers of poly(methylphenylsilylene) and poly(styrene) have been conveniently synthesised by using α,ω-di((chloromethyl)phenylethyl-dimethylsilyl)poly(methylphenylsilylene) as a macromolecular initiator for the bulk polymerisation of styrene in an atom transfer radical polymerisation reaction. Where appropriate, the structures of the precursor and the block copolymers have been confirmed using size exclusion chromatography and NMR spectroscopy.
