Synthesis of Complex Multiblock Copolymers Via a Simple Iterative Cu(0)- Mediated Radical Polymerization Approach

摘要

Block copolymers possess fascinating properties due to their ability to self-assemble in solution to form higher order structures (micelles, liposomes, etc…), and undergo phase separation in the solid state (for example; thins films). The synthesis of block copolymers has traditionally only been possible using anionic living polymerization.
