Current-controlled ‘plug-and-play’ electrochemical atom transfer radical polymerization of acrylamides in water
Mahir Mohammed, Bryn A. Jones, Paul Wilson
Abstract
Poly(acrylamides) are synthesised by seATRP using an accessible ‘plug-and-play’ device in the constant-current regime, with high conversion (up to 96%), controlled molecular weight and low dispersity ( Đ m ≤ 1.31).
