Harnessing the Potential of N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes for the Rejuvenation of Group‐Transfer Polymerization of (Meth)Acrylics

Abstract

Neutral but versatile: N-heterocyclic carbenes are very efficient catalysts for the group-transfer polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates in both polar and apolar media. These organocatalysts were also used to design all-(meth)acrylic di- and triblock copolymers.
