Graft polymer growth using tandem photoinduced photoinitiator-free CuAAC/ATRP

Abstract

<p>In this work, we describe the use of a one-pot, photoinduced but photoinitiator-free combined copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) protocol to provide a graft copolymer of polystyrene-<italic>g</italic>-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-<italic>g</italic>-PMMA) in good conversion and polydispersity.</p>
