Precise Synthesis of Amphiphilic Multiblock Copolymers by Combination of Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) Polymerization with Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and Click Chemistry

Various block (graft) copolymers have been prepared by combination of acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of 9,9-dialky1-2,7-divinyl-fluorene with Cu-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene using macroinitiators prepared by introduction of initiating functionalities vinylene)s (PFVs) chain ends: a precise synthesis of the amphiphilic ABCBA-type into ends: block poly(9,9-dialkylfluorene-2,7-vinylene)s (PFVs) chain ends: a precise synthesis of the copolymers has also been attained by subsequent combination with click reaction after modification of the chain end with NaN3.
