Abstract

The almost ubiquitous 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide, 1, may be reacted with any hydroxyl to generate an ATRP initiating site, 3a allowing control of polymer chain-end structure. Together with controlled polymer synthesis, this has allowed systematic changes of structure and architecture and enabled the fundamental study of factors affecting specific polymer behaviour; for example, stimuli-responsive chain assembly. 3b,c Many investigations of polymer deposition, drug delivery and ...
