Effect of variations of Cu^IIX₂/L, surface area of Cu⁰, solvent, and temperature on atom transfer radical polyaddition of 4-vinylbenzyl 2-bromo-2-isobutyrate inimers

Abstract

Optimization of atom transfer radical polyadditions using commercially available catalytic systems allowed obtaining control over the polyester architecture and functionality and functional linear polyesters with high molecular weight (<italic>M</italic>_w = 16 200).
