The results show that the molecular weight the resulting polymers increase linearly with monomer conversion, and the polydispersity is lower than 1.1, a typical feature of living polymerization. The simulation results are in consistent with the experimental results in literature. Additionally, that the molecular weight is proportional to the initial concentration of dithioester, [DSE]0, and the polymerization rate is [DSE]0-independent, could be of great help for controlling molecular weight in experiment.展开更多

Polymer ofGMA with planned molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution was obtained. In caseof bulk polymerization with the same initiator and catalyst the molecular weight of the polymerobtained was 1.5~2. 1 times greater than that of the above one. By using 1-phenylethyl chloride(PECl)/CuCl/BPY as catalyst controlled ATRP of GMA has failed whether it was in bulk or insolution.展开更多
