Atom transfer radical polymerization method

摘要

Aspects of the polymerization process of the present invention relates to the polymerization of free-radically polymerizable monomers in the presence of a polymerization substrate initially containing atom transfer radical polymerization initiator and a transition metal catalyst at least one. The polymer substrate can further comprise a reducing agent. First, the reducing agent, or can be added in a discontinuous manner or continuously during the polymerization process. Furthermore, polymerization method is a compound that no compound containing a radically transferable atom or group and a transition metal catalyst one can be reacted with a reducing agent, at least one oxidation state, and significantly involved in the control of the polymerization process and may include the formation. Aspect of the invention, during the polymerization process the catalytic activity and / or compounds containing a radically transferable atom or group and with one catalyst, and reacting a reducing agent, at least one oxidation state, to initiate polymerization It comprises maintaining.
