摘要

Abstract

The efficient Cu(0) wire-catalyzed single-electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) in organic solvents and mixtures of the organic solvents with water has been thoroughly investigated. Oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether acrylate was used as an exemplar oligomer monomer to determine the optimum polymerization conditions for rapid

controlled

and quantitative production of well-defined polymers. The effects of Cu(0)-wire length (12.5 or 4.5 cm)

ligand type (tris(dimethylaminoethyl)amine

-TREN

or tris(2-aminoethyl)amine

TREN)

and solvent type (dipolar aprotic solvents

cyclic ethers

alcohol

or acetone) on the polymerization have been evaluated. Kinetic experiments were performed for all polymerizations to assess the " living” behavior of each system employed. Importantly

TREN could be used as a replacement for Me

-TREN in Cu(0) wire-catalyzed SET-LRP of oligomer monomer

which probably provides the most economical and efficient methodology since TREN is 80 times less expensive than Me

-TREN. The high chain-end fidelity of resulting polymer was experimentally verified by thiol-Michael addition reaction at the

-Br chain end and subsequent chain extension with methyl acrylate.
