  • What is copper-catalyzed controlled polymerization of acrylamide?
  • Copper-catalyzed controlled polymerization of acrylamide (AM) has always been a challenge, which typically exhibits low monomer conversion and broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) or requires complex/multistep reaction procedures, due to the highly active nature of the AM radical and its side reactions.
  • Which acrylamides provide more than 90% m in 1d-initiated polymerizations?
  • Alkyl-substituted acrylamides including N, N -diethylacrylamide ( 2b, DEAA) and N -isopropylacrylamide ( 2c, NIPAM) provided more than 90% m in 1d -initiated polymerizations with addition of 5 mol% La (OTf) 3. A wide range of polar pendants were well-tolerated, including ether, amine, alcohol and cation.
  • Are bimetallic catalysts able to control radical polymerization?
  • The backbone stereoregularity that dictates a broad range of polymer properties cannot be readily controlled in radical polymerizations. Now, bimetallic catalysts containing covalently bridged rare earth and cobalt complexes enable stereocontrolled living radical polymerization of acrylamides tethered with diverse polar and ionic pendant groups.
  • Why is radical polymerization important in aqueous dispersed systems?
  • A significant advantage of RDRP among the various living polymerization processes is its water tolerance, which is attributable to the negligible side reactions that occur between the radical and water molecules. Therefore, radical polymerization in aqueous dispersed systems has been developed extensively thus far [ 1, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 ].
