Solvent-free atom transfer radical polymerization for the preparation of poly(poly(ethyleneglycol) monomethacrylate)-grafted Fe3O4 nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and cellular uptake

“…Furthermore, with this method, surface modification with high graft density and high stability of the polymer shell can be achieved. As such, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) appears a promising ''grafting from'' technique which offers many advantages including good control over molecular weight and monodispersity, and therefore thickness of the polymer shell [20][21][22][23][24]. Another advantage of ATRP is that the endfunctionalized polymers or block copolymers grafted onto the nanoparticle surface can offer a variety of active sites for further multi-biofunctionalization for specific targeting.…”

Synthesis and characterization of BAB and CBABC tri- and PentaBlock copolymers via atom transfer radical polymerization

“…CRP, and specifically ATRP, is rapidly becoming the preferred synthetic method for producing novel materials; as it allows the mass control of fine structure. [8][9][10][11] Well-defined polymers with precisely controlled structural parameters are accessible through living ionic polymerization processes however; ionic living polymerization requires stringent process conditions and the procedures are limited to a relatively small number of monomers. [12][13][14] The discovery of ATRP in 1995 and its development since then has offered a new tool and a new ability to control the course of polymerization.…”
