  • Title: Facile iron-mediated AGET ATRP for water-soluble poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate in water.
    Author: He W, Zhang L, Miao J, Cheng Z, Zhu X.
    Journal: Macromol Rapid Commun; 2012 Jun 27; 33(12):1067-73. PubMed ID: 22492486.
    Abstract:
    An environmentally friendly iron catalyst system was successfully developed in water for the AGET ATRP (activator generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization) of water-soluble monomer poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) for the first time. A kinetic study indicated that the polymerization was a living/controlled process in which molecular weight increased linearly with monomer conversion. A lower molecular weight distribution (M(w)/M(n) < 1.5) was maintained. The nontoxic and biocompatible characteristics of the iron catalyst facilitate its mediated polymerization to be used in the preparation of functional polymer materials for biomedical use.
