Surface‐initiated atom‐transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP) of methyl methacrylate from carbon fibre

Abstract: Surface modification of carbon fibre (CF) by well-defined polymer brushes was carried out using the 'grafting from' method. Poly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted carbon fibre (CF-PMMA) was successfully prepared by surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) from the macro-initiator, bromo-acetic ester-modified carbon fibre (CF-BrA), with the complex of 1,10-phenanthroline and Cu(I)Br as catalyst. The percentage of grafting (PG%) and the conversion of monomer (C%) i… Show more

“…Surface-initiated living radical polymerization (LRP) has been rapidly developed for its excellent controllability over the molecular weight, polydispersity, and chain-end functionality of the graft polymers and its capability of affording an exceptionally high graft density with the robustness and versatility of LRP retained. , In particular, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is widely used for this purpose and applied to a variety of solid surfaces of different shapes and materials. …”

“…Copper-mediated atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been one of the most efficient controlled/living-radical polymerization (CLRP) methods since its introduction by Wang and Matyjaszewski . The controlled chain growth and living nature of ATRP make it very useful for the preparation of well-defined block and graft copolymers. , Another advantage of this method over common radical initiation methods is that only negligible homopolymer formation is observed when it is employed in graft copolymerizations. , For this reason, the surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) technique is also very efficient for grafting from solid surfaces, such as nanomaterials, fibers, beads or particles, films or membranes, and so on.…”

“…The peak situated at 1730 cm −1 , appearing in Figure 1C, can be attributed to the characteristic peaks of C=O after the functionalization of MMA. The results suggest that the PMMA has been successfully bound onto the CF surfaces [22].…”
