“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Not only the nonpolar hydrocarbons, such as styrene, α-methylstyrene, 1,3-butadiene, and isoprene, and the cyclic monomers including epoxides and lactones but also polar monomers, such as vinylpyridines, (meth)acrylates, and N,N-dialkylacrylamides, are capable of the living anionic polymerization under the suitable conditions. Furthermore, it has (pK a = 25) [18] in the ketone moieties prohibit the anionic polymerization due to the inherent proton abstraction by basic initiators.…”
