We introduce the first oxygen tolerant ultra-low volume (as low as 5 μL) photoinduced Cu-RDRP of a range of hydrophobic, hydrophilic and semi-fluorinated monomers.
Photo-induced Cu-RDRP of acrylates in a continuous flow reactor without the need for deoxygenation or externally added reagents. Optimization of the catalyst concentration and the flow rate/residence time leads to well-defined polyacrylates with controlled molecular weights, excellent initiator efficiency, high end-group fidelity polymers and product uniformity. A multifunctional initiator was also used to demonstrate the versatility of the system. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
