Abstract

MMA (methyl methacrylate) was polymerized in different ATRP systems using the different ligands of HMTETA (1, 1, 4, 7, 10, 10, hexamethyltriethylenetetraamine), TMEDA (N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine) with copper salts (CuBr/CuBr2) and EBriB was used as an initiator in toluene at a reaction temperature of 80 °C. Both conventional and a low catalyst to initiator ratios ranging from 1/1 to 0.01/1 were compared in this study. All four of the ATRP methods, such as normal, reverse, AGET and ATRP using a high oxidation state metal complex without any additives, were evaluated at different conditions. The ATRP using a high oxidation state metal system in the absence of a conventional radical initiator like AIBN, which is used in reverse ATRP, or reducing agents such as Sn (EH)2 in AGET ATRP was a better controlled system in terms of both the catalytic activity and controllability (PDI ∼ 1.2).
