Abstract

Polymer end group modifications via [2+ 2] Paterno–Büchi reactions were carried out. Polyisobornyl acrylate (PiBoA, 3100 g· mol–1) and polystyrene (PS, 2800 g· mol–1) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) employing an aldehyde functional initiator. Good control over the polymerizations was achieved, and material with high aldehyde functionality was obtained. The terminal aldehyde was then reacted with ...
