Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Modern polymer chemistry provides powerful means for precise synthesis of polymers with controlled molar masses and end-functionality. Among them, 'living polymerization' has been the key concept leading this field of precision polymerizations. For end-fuctionalization, however, it requires stepwise addition of terminating agent ('T') after the complete monomer consumption. In this work, in sharp contrast, we have developed a new concept of controlled polymerization involving programmed termination, named 'Atropos polymerization', in which all reagents including 'T' are mixed and the initiation takes place in the presence of 'T'. Typically, a mixture of (meth)acrylate monomers and 'T' with much lower reactivity was added to the initiator. The polymerization proceeded in a living manner until the complete monomer consumption, and then the termination followed to yield the respective end-functional polymer. The Atropos system was extended to the syntheses of block and graft copolymers.
