Abstract
- A study was conducted that investigated the mechanism of copper(I)-mediated 'living' atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in aqueous media. It was shown that the ATRP apparent rate constant for polymerization of methoxycapped oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) in water [k(sub p)(super app)] at room temperature correlates with the redox potential (E1/2) of the copper complexes.
