Copolymers with spont aneous gradient structure by atom transfer radical copolymerization of PEO (meth)acrylate macromonomer with TMS-ethyl (meth)acrylates

摘要

Controlled/"living" polymerization techniques such as ionic polymerization or controlled radical polymerization can be used for the synthesis of well-defined copolymers. For gradient copolymers, a suitable method is atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
