摘要

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of MMA was conducted using 2-(4-chloromethyl-phenyl)-benzoxazole as initiator, CuCl as catalyst, and PMDETA as ligand. The results show that the polymerization is a first order reaction with respect to monomer concentration. The polymerization displayed living character as evidenced by a liner increase of monomer weight with conversation and a relatively narrow distribution (Mn/Mw range from 1.30 to 1.45). The structure of PMMA was analyzed by H-1-NMR and proved the polymerization could be controlled to some degree. The optical property of the initiator was well preserved in the resulting PMMA, and the end-functionalized PMMA exhibited fluorescent emission at 360 nm whether in DMF solution or in film state.
