Abstract

A controlled polymerization using activated acrylate monomers via ARGET-ATRP is developed with a tris[(4-dimethylamino pyridyl)methyl]amine ligand to address issues with weaker ligands and monomers that can undergo postpolymerization functionalization. This catalyst system enables the polymerization of N-acryloxy succinimide, fluorinated monomers, and isocyanato ethyl acrylate under controlled homogeneous conditions, ensuring linear molecular-weight growth and low polydispersity. Two block copolymerization strategies produce amphiphilic copolymers with narrow molecular-weight distributions and customizable compositions, allowing for various postpolymerization functionalizations.
