Summary: Graft‐copolymers with polyimide backbone and PMMA side chains are synthesized by ATRP of methylmethacrylate on the polyimide macroinitiator. The obtained copolymers, macroinitiator, and cleaved side chains are investigated by 1H NMR, SEC, static and dynamic light scattering, sedimentation, and viscosimetry in solutions. The synthesized copolymer is relatively loose polymer brushes: the average distance between grafted PMMA chains is ∼11 nm (4 repeat units of the backbone). The hydrodynamic and conformational characteristics of graft‐copolymers change on passage from ethylacetate to chloroform due to difference in the thermodynamic quality of the solvents with respect to the copolymer components. The backbone is characterized more extended conformation than individual polyimide macromolecule.
