説明

A well-defined cationic polymer and polymer brush were simultaneously prepared by copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2-(methacryloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride (MTAC) in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) at 60 °C initiated with ethyl 2-bromoisobutylate and the corresponding alkylbromide immobilized on silicon wafer. ATRP of MTAC in TFE as well as aqueous solution proceeded quickly but in a poorly controlled manner, leading to a relatively higher molecular weight distribution (MWD) than Mw/Mn = 1.3, where Mw and Mn are weight-average and number-average molecular weights, respectively. Addition of a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to the TFE-based reaction mixture reduced the polymerization rate and produced a poly(MTAC) with predictable molecular weight and narrower MWD than 1.19. The Mn of poly(MTAC) was controllable in the range 104−105 g mol−1 based on the molar ratio of monomer and initiator in the feed. The Mn of the brush on a flat silicon wafer matched that of the free...
