A new initiation procedure for ATRP, has already been reported by us for the first time. That is, Generation of Activators via Monomer Addition for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (GAMA ATRP), which uses monomer to reduce the initially added high-oxidation-state metal, followed by subsequent in situ generation a new initiator to initiate polymerization. In this study, GAMA ATRP has been successfully extended its applicability as a new ATRP to form well-defined polymers with low polydispersities. More than that, the detailed mechanism of the new redox process between initiation and activation was investigated and proposed here. GAMA ATRP can employ an easier and more convenient experiment condition with air-stable metal usage and in the absence of even ATRP initiators. |
