Electrochemically mediated atom transfer radical polymerization ( e ATRP) is an advanced method to produce well-defined polymers. In e ATRP, an electric current is used to trigger the polymerization, (re)generate the active catalyst, and strictly control the process. This review describes the fundamentals of e ATRP and its applications to prepare homopolymers, block copolymers, star polymers, and surface-grafted polymer brushes.

Abstract

Electrochemically mediated atom transfer radical polymerization ( e ATRP) is an advanced method to produce well-defined polymers. In e ATRP, an electric current is used to trigger the polymerization, (re)generate the active catalyst, and strictly control the process. This review describes the fundamentals of e ATRP and its applications to prepare homopolymers, block copolymers, star polymers, and surface-grafted polymer brushes.
