“…Meanwhile, Percec group has proposed a single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) mechanism [18][19][20][21][22], which postulates Cu 0 as the major activator of alkyl halides, Cu II as the major deactivator and assumes that Cu I not participating in activation reactions and instead undergoing very rapid disproportionation to Cu 0 and Cu II [19]. Taking into account the Matyjaszewski's researches [17,23,24] it can be stated that the SARA ATRP mechanism is correct. SARA ATRP/SET-LRP was successfully applied to relatively nonpolar monomers (e.g., styrene [25], butyl acrylate [26], methyl acrylate [14,24,26,27], 2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl methacrylate [26,28], methyl methacrylate [19,26,29]), as well as polar monomers (e.g., oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether acrylate [13], N-isopropylacrylamide [30]) for the preparation of a variety of polymeric materials with different structures and architectures, including homopolymers, and well-defined block copolymers.…”
