Abstract

Abstract Poly (methyl methacrylate)-based star-like polymers (SLPs) were synthesized by a one-pot conventional free-radical copolymerization. Two aryl ester-based cross-linkers, bisphenol A dimethacrylate and 1, 4-bis (methacryloxy) benzene, were found to induce SLP formation by reactivity control when copolymerized with methyl methacrylate. The formulation domain diagrams for these systems were established and high monomer ...
