AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses the polymerization of hydrophilic monomers using a method called SET-LRP that relies on highly active Cu(0) formed from the breakdown of a specific copper compound in serum.
- This process is notable for achieving controlled radical polymerization with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 1.09-1.25.
- This research marks the first time that both disproportionation and homogenous controlled radical polymerization have been successfully conducted in blood serum from sheep.
Article Abstract
The polymerization of hydrophilic monomers is reported utilizing Cu(0)-mediated living radical polymerization, SET-LRP. Highly active Cu(0) is formed in situ as a result of rapid disproportionation of [Cu(I)(Me6-Tren)Br] in serum. Disproportionation and homogenous controlled radical polymerization (PDI 1.09-1.25) are performed for the first time in blood (sheep) serum.
