摘要

Activator generated electron transfer, atom transfer radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate has been performed in an inexpensive route employing poly(ethylene glycol) with air stable Cu(II)X2 (X=Br, Cl) as catalyst and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-ethylenediamine (TMEDA) as both ligand and reducing agent.
