Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

SET-LRP polymerization of acrylic monomers under acidic conditions is described. The source of the acidity may be the solvent (e.g., an acetic acid-containing solvent) or in the monomer content (e.g., acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, optionally in combination with other monomers such as methyl methacrylate).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of making an acrylic polymer or copolymer, comprising performing a single-electron transfer living radical polymerization of a reaction mixture comprising: (a) one or more acrylic monomers, including a monomer of the formula:  wherein R 1 is hydrogen or alkyl and R 2 is carboxyl or carboxylate; (b) a metal single-electron transfer catalyst; (c) a component comprising a solvent and optional sulfide-free ligand, where said component or combination of component and monomer is used to disproportionate the metal single-electron transfer catalyst; and (d) an organohalide initiator; with the proviso that the solvent includes a compound comprising a carboxyl group. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metal single-electron transfer catalyst is Cu(I)X where X is Cl, Br, or I, and the component or combination of component and monomer is capable of disproportionating the metal catalyst Cu(I)X into Cu(0) and Cu(II)X 2 . 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the component includes a ligand that comprises N-ligand groups. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component includes a ligand that comprises N-ligand groups. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 2 is carboxyl.
