title: Tailored synthesis of structurally defined polymers by organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (TERP): synthesis of poly(meth)acrylate derivatives and their di- and triblock copolymers.
abstract: The organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (TERP) method allows the synthesis of various polyacrylate and polymethacrylate derivatives with precise control of molecular weight and with defined end groups. The method can be applied to the synthesis of AB-diblock and ABA- and ABC-triblock copolymers composed of different families of monomers.
