TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of di-and triblock copolymers, involving methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate, and methyl acrylated, using copper-based atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported.
Abstract: The synthesis of di- and triblock copolymers, involving methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate, and methyl acrylate, using copper-based atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported. It was found that poly(MMA) macroinitiator is able to initiate the ATRP of acrylic monomers. However, for polyacrylates to effectively initiate the ATRP of MMA, the end group should be a bromine atom and the catalyst CuCl; that is, halogen exchange should take place. ABA-type triblock copolymers, where B = poly(butyl acrylate) and A = poly(methyl methacrylate), were synthesized by growing the center block first using a difunctional initiator and then adding MMA to the ends.

TL;DR: Minimal polymerization in the absence of light confers temporal control and alludes to potential application at one of the frontiers of materials chemistry whereby precise spatiotemporal "on/off" control and resolution is desirable.
Abstract: Photoinduced living radical polymerization of acrylates, in the absence of conventional photoinitiators or dye sensitizers, has been realized in “daylight’”and is enhanced upon irradiation with UV radiation (λmax ≈ 360 nm). In the presence of low concentrations of copper(II) bromide and an aliphatic tertiary amine ligand (Me6-Tren; Tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine), near-quantitative monomer conversion (>95%) is obtained within 80 min, yielding poly(acrylates) with dispersities as low as 1.05 and excellent end group fidelity (>99%). The versatility of the technique is demonstrated by polymerization of methyl acrylate to a range of chain lengths (DPn = 25–800) and a number of (meth)acrylate monomers, including macromonomer poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGA480), tert-butyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate, as well as styrene. Moreover, hydroxyl- and vic-diol-functional initiators are compatible with the polymerization conditions, forming α,ω-heterofunctional poly(acrylates) with unparalleled ...

TL;DR: In this article, the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) bulk polymerization of a fast propagating monomer (methyl acrylate, MA) has been studied using 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate (1-PEDB) and 2-(2-cyanopropyl) dithiopropyl (CPDB) as RAFT agents at 60 °C.
Abstract: The reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) bulk polymerization of a fast propagating monomer (methyl acrylate, MA) has been studied using 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate (1-PEDB) and 2-(2-cyanopropyl) dithiobenzoate (CPDB) as RAFT agents at 60 °C. Rate retardation with increasing initial RAFT agent concentrations is common to both 1-PEDB- and CPDB-mediated MA polymerizations and occurs in comparable magnitude. A pronounced inhibition period is observed in 1-PEDB-mediated MA polymerizations, whereas the corresponding CPDB-mediated polymerizations show considerably less inhibition. The cause for this inhibition may either be associated with the leaving group of the initial RAFT agent or with the slow fragmentation of the initial intermediate macroRAFT radical. The present experimental data suggest that slow fragmentation is the probable cause for inhibition. We conclude that the radical intermediate formed by addition of radicals to the initial RAFT agent is different in stability than the macroRAFT radical formed analogously from macroRAFT agent. The inhibition period is effectively reduced by the use of CPDB as the initial RAFT agent in methyl acrylate polymerizations.
