Aqueous radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide redox-initiated by aerobically catalytic oxidation of water-soluble tertiary amines

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Alpha-Amino Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) with HighTgthrough Emulsion Polymerization by Using Transition Metal Cation-Tertiary Amine Pairs as a Mono-Centered Initiator

“…Table implies that the initiator efficiency of amines ( f amine ) and of Fe III /EDTA were rather low, i.e., < 1.0% and < 25.0%, respectively. Thus, it shows that such Cu II ‐ or Fe III ‐amine redox‐initiation in organic or aqueous media has characteristics of a low rate and inefficiency.…”

Rapidly self-deoxygenating controlled radical polymerization in water via in situ disproportionation of Cu(i)

“…46 In a separate study, the same group demonstrated the combination of eosin Y with ascorbic acid as a reducing agent system, for the oxygen tolerant aqueous RAFT photopolymerization at low volumes. 23 In the eld of Cu-mediated polymerization, among other elegant approaches, 47,48 He and co-workers reported the addition of Cu(0) and ascorbic acid as reducing agents, for the surface-initiated ATRP of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. 49,50 Matyjaszewski and colleagues reported on the conversion of O 2 to CO 2 through GO x , for the aqueous ATRP of oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate (OEOMA 500 ) in the presence of pyruvates 51 or horseradish peroxidase.…”
