ICAR ATRP with ppm Cu Catalyst in Water
Abstract
Initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization (ICAR ATRP) with ppm amount of Cu catalyst was successfully developed in water. For the first time, Cu catalyst concentrations of 100 ppm and lower were used in aqueous media to prepare well-defined macromolecules. Polymers of oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether acrylate were synthesized with low dispersity ( M w / M n = 1.15–1.28) using 20–100 ppm of an active CuBr/tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine-based catalyst in the presence of excess bromide anions. This technique was used to synthesize a thermoresponsive block copolymer of poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate)- b -poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether acrylate). The methacrylic block had a lower critical solution temperature (LCST = 77 ± 2 °C) below that of the acrylic block. The hydrodynamic diameter of ca. 10 nm at temperatures below the LCST is consistent with free polymer chains in solution, and the diameter of ca. 30 nm above the LCST is consistent with a micellar structure. The aqueous ICAR ATRP technique was also used to successfully synthesize a well-defined bioconjugate by growing poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) acrylate) from a bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein functionalized with ca. 30 ATRP initiating sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
