摘要

The well-controlled NIPAM polymerization was realized in water with narrow MWDs and varied MWs via a facile one-pot and one-step Cu(0)-mediated RDRP. Sufficient CuI at the very beginning is the key for kicking off the Cu(0)-mediated NIPAM RDRPs

and adequate deactivation strength during the polymerization process is the key to achieve a well-controlled chain growth.

Abstract

Copper(0)-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (Cu(0)-mediated RDRP) of the water-soluble monomer

-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) has been challenging with the problems of high dispersity

poor control over the molecular weights (MWs) or complex or multi reaction steps

etc

. In this work

we report the well-controlled polymerization of NIPAM in water

via

a facile one-pot and one-step Cu(0)-mediated RDRP. The results of this approach show that the key for kicking off the Cu(0)-mediated NIPAM RDRPs is to ensure sufficient Cu

at the very beginning

and the key to achieve a well-controlled chain growth is to provide adequate deactivation strength during the polymerization process. For NIPAM

which has a high propagation rate constant

the deactivation control can be effectively enhanced by extra adding deactivator (

i.e.

) to the system. Moreover

a low reaction temperature (4 °C) is necessary in the controlled synthesis of higher MW poly(

-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to avoid the compromise in control caused by the phase transition from its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Through this new kinetically controlled strategy

PNIPAMs with well-defined structure

narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs) and varied MWs were successfully achieved.
