“…Extremely bulky methacrylates, such as tert-butyl methacrylate (*BMA), are the only monomers which have been thought to be immune to terminating side reactions (29)(30)(31). However, recent evidence indicates that even for *BMA, oligomers resulting from side reactions are found in the polymerization mixture (32).…”

Metal-mediated (meth)acrylate polymerizations provide a good example of the versatility and importance of transition metal catalysis in polymer design. This chapter surveys several of these processes with respect to "living" behavior, experimental condition and monomer restrictions, and types of polymer architectures available.In addition to anionic methods, Group Transfer Polymerization (GTP) with silyl enolates or zirconocenes, organolanthanide-and aluminum porphyrin-initiated polymer ization, and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) are discussed.Polymethacrylate and polyacrylate materials play an important role in our society. Almost two billion pounds of polymer products based on acrylic esters are produced each year for applications such as window plastics, dental materials, paints, contact lenses, fibers, and viscosity modifiers.Polymethacrylates-particularly poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-possess high strength, high impact resistance, excellent heat and chemical stability, and a highly amorphous nature which results in excellent optical clarity. For these reasons, they are used widely as building plastics (Plexiglas, Lucite). Polyacrylates are less rigid due to their lower glass transition temperatures, and as latex emulsions form the basis for durable automobile and house paints and coatings. Random copolymers of (meth)acrylates with vinylidene chloride (Sarari), acrylonitrile, and ethylene find applications as clothing fibers, tubing, gaskets, disposable gloves, and heat-and oil-resistant automotive elastomers.Despite the commercial utility of polymethacrylates and polyacrylates, refinements in synthetic methodology these macromolecules have lagged behind that of other polymers. The great majority of acrylic ester products in use today are still produced by radical polymerization, which allows little if any control over the fine points of the polymerization process. This is the result of the traditionally illcontrolled nature of acrylate polymerization. While chain termination and transfer side reactions may be largely eliminated for other monomers, such as styrene and dienes, through the use of controlled anionic polymerization, the (meth)acrylate ester
