Abstract

The anionic methods for the synthesis of homo- and heteroarm (hybrid) star-shaped polymers using fullerene C60 aPre considered. The possibilities of fullerene C60 as an agent of combination of living polymer chains and the procedures of transformation of polymer derivatives of C60 (hexaadducts) into polyfunctional macroinitiators of anionic polymerization of vinyl monomers are shown. The methods for functionalization of polymer fullerene derivatives and their combinations into structures of complex controlled architecture are presented. The structural features and initiating properties of the living polymer fullerene derivatives and their role in the formation of heteroarm star-shaped macromolecules with the controlled number of branches and predetermined molecular weight characteristics of the arms are discussed. The hydrodynamic properties of the star-shaped fullerene-containing polymers are considered. The data on the small-angle neutron scattering study of self-organization of the stars in solutions are presented.
