Abstract
A simple two-step synthetic method of a graft polymer using a radical process is reported. Using living radical polymerization, graft polymers consisting of a poly(methyl methacrylate) main chain and side chains composed of various monomers, such as styrene and n-butyl acrylate, were synthesized. The polymers had a narrow polydispersity. Especially, for the graft polymerization of acrylates, the addition of a small amount of TEMPOL to the polymerization system on the side chain improved the livingness of the polymerization. The effect of added free TEMPOL was also studied on the homopolymerization of n-butyl acrylate using an initiator bearing a TEMPOL residue.
