原子轉移自由基聚合反應是由原子轉移自由基加成反應所衍生出來的新穎聚合技術。應用原子轉移自由基聚合可製作分子量分布集中及結構複雜度高的聚合物。近年來許多方法被提出來改善原子轉移自由基聚合以拓展其在工業上的應用。在這篇文章中我們將介紹各種原子轉移自由基聚合技術及其特性。
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), a novel technique in polymer synthesis based on atom transfer radical addition, is famous by the generation of polymers with controlled molecular weight, low dispersity, and defined molecular architectures. In this article we will introduce methods in atom transfer radical polymerization and their properties.
