| Abstract: | Summary: The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of butyl methacrylate in miniemulsion, initiated with the redox pair hydrogen peroxide/ascorbic acid and mediated with copper(II) bromide tris[2-di(2-ethylhexyl acrylate)aminoethyl]amine is capable of producing well-controlled high-molecular weight poly(butyl methacrylate). |
