Controlled homopolymerization of multi-vinyl monomers: dendritic polymers synthesized via an optimized ATRA reaction.
In this study, we have managed to find the optimal ATRA system that can obtain the highest mono-adduct yields with the purpose of minimizing the chain growth of divinyl monomers. The most highly hyperbranched polymers have been synthesized by the homopolymerization of multi-vinyl monomers via ATRA reaction.
