Abstract
Breathing new life into anionic polymerization: A novel ABC triblock, poly(tert-butyl acrylate)-block-polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (depicted), was synthesized by living anionic polymerization. A functional macromonomer, poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (blue) with a styrene end group (black) was first prepared by anionic polymerization, and then used in the initiation of the anionic polymerization of styrene (green). As the styryl anion remained “alive” in the presence of the poly(tert-butyl acrylate) block, the 4-vinylpyridine (red) polymerization could proceed after monomer addition.
