“…The reaction conditions are less stringent in comparison with living anionic/cationic polymerization. Since the first report of the surface modification of cellulose fibers (paper) via the ATRP graft copolymerization of MA by Carlmark et al [71], various monomers, including St [77], MMA [77], 4VP, NIPAAm [78], BA [79,80], as well as liquid crystalline monomer [32], have been used for the graft surface modification of cellulosic materials using ATRP. The living/controlled features of ATRP allow the further polymerization via ATRP of other monomers initiated by the bromides at the chain ends, which allows modifying the surface of cellulosic materials by block copolymer with special properties.…”
