Abstract

Poly ((meth) acrylic acid) polymers are of vast interest for a wide range of applications because of their pH-responsive nature and hydrophilic characteristics and for their interaction with metal ions. 1, 2 Therefore, the ability to synthesize polymers containing (meth) acrylic acid units with control of chain architecture and molar mass is of great importance. Traditional polymerization routes toward such polymers include living ...
