Facile Synthesis of Well-Defined High Molecular Weight Acrylic Polymers by Living Radical Polymerization Using Binary Radical Initiators

摘要

Organotellurium-Mediated Living Radical Polymerization (TERP) is an adequate living radical polymerization technique to synthesize well-defined high molecular weight acrylic polymers. We are currently investigating TERP using oxygen-stable ditellurides in combination with binary radical initiators having different decomposition rate constants instead of extremely oxygen-sensitive monotellurides.
