Synthesis of PS(PEO)3 star block copolymers from a heterotetrafunctional initiator

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Living Radical Polymerization: Toward Perfection in Catalysis and Precision Polymer Synthesis

“…Additionally, ROAP of ethylene oxide (EO) with CMI-11 721 is also applied to 4-heteroarm star polymers with 3 poly(EO) segments and 1 poly(St) counterparts. NMP and Others.…”

Copper-Mediated Living Radical Polymerization (Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization and Copper(0) Mediated Polymerization): From Fundamentals to Bioapplications

“…Subsequent conjugation of monoalkynyl-terminated PDEA to the star polymers yielded well-defined Janus star polymers. Apart from polymers prepared entirely by ATRP, star polymers have also been synthesized by combining polymer block(s) prepared by ATRP with those derived from other methods such as cationic polymerization and ROP. − …”

A facile chemoenzymatic synthesis of amphiphilic miktoarm star copolymers from a sugar core and their potential for anticancer drug delivery

“…Oriol et al 21 exploited "click chemistry" and ATRP methods to build a AB 3 miktoarm star polymer with three identical PEG arms and one 4-isobutyloxyazobenzene side chain polymethacrylate arm. Tsukruk et al 22 and Dumas et al 23 employed the combination of anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide and ATRP of styrene to synthesize multi-arm asymmetric (PEO) n -(PS) m (n + m ≤ 4) and PS(PEO) 3 star copolymers. Particularly, it should be noted that the reaction cores have to contain different functional groups, which can meet the requirements of diverse reactions.…”
