This application note discusses the characteristics of block copolymers synthesized via transition metal mediated living radical polymerization. These reactions allow for controlled synthesis of polymers with predetermined molecular weight, polydispersity, and well-defined architecture using cheap and simple procedures. The ability to convert hydroxyl functional groups to active initiator groups enables the synthesis of architecturally diverse materials such as stars, blocks, and grafts. Block copolymers consist of two or more chains with different repeat units, known as blocks. For example, a block of polystyrene connected to a block of polymethy...
