Synthesis of Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) Sponges via Activators Regenerated by Electron-transfer Atom-transfer Radical Polymerization

Activators regenerated by electron-transfer atom-transfer radical polymerization, catalyzed by tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine/CuBr2 and Na{Cu(Gly3)}, was used to synthesize poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) sponges from 80 : 20 H2O/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate mixtures. Polymerization-induced phase separ...
