摘要

Abstract

The controlled and efficient synthesis of polymers with tailored topologies is challenging but important for exploring structure/property research. Herein

we proposed a concept of macro-latent monomer to achieve the controlled growth of polymer topologies. The macro-latent monomer was installed by a dynamic furan/maleimide covalent bond at the chain terminal. One-shot reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene and the macro-latent monomer created controlled growth of polymer topologies. Low temperature such as 40 °C could not activate the macro-latent monomer and thus the polymerization created the homo-polystyrene. By contrast

high temperature of ~110 °C activated the macro-latent monomer

and a maleimide-terminated macro-monomer was released

via

the retro-Diels Alder reaction. This macro-monomer immediately joined the cross polymerization with styrene and thus produced the side chains. By delicately manipulating the polymerization temperature

the predetermined placement of the macro-latent monomer-derived polymeric side-chains created controllably growing topologies

including star-

-shaped

and density-variable grafting copolymers. This work paved a new way for creating on-demand topologies and would greatly enrich the topology synthesis.
