Abstract
Star polymers of sodium styrenesulfonate with controlled arm length were prepared in a one-pot polymerization. Sodium styrenesulfonate was first polymerized with controlled molecular weight and narrow polydispersity by stable free radical polymerization. Poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) was terminated with divinyl benzene and star polymers prepared via stable free radical coupling of vinylic terminal groups. Star polymers based on arms of 20 and 32 repeat units possessed ~33 and ~41 arms per star respectively. Formation of star polymers with much longer arms was limited by poor coupling kinetics.
