Concurrent Tandem Living Radical Polymerization: Gradient Copolymers via In Situ Monomer Transformation with Alcohols

摘要

An exquisite catalysis in polymer and materials chemistry implies an efficient, convenient, and versatile transformation from common reagents into functional designer materials. In terms of the efficiency and convenience, "tandem catalysis" would be a candidate in which a simple one-pot synthetic approach involves multiple reactions concurrently or sequentially proceeding in a single reaction vessel without isolation of intermediates.
