Abstract

The polymerisation of N-acryloylmorpholine in water is reported utilising Cu(0)-mediated living radical polymerisation (SET-LRP). The inherent instability of [CuI(Me6-Tren)Br] in aqueous solution is exploited via rapid disproportionation to prepare Cu(0) particles and [CuII(Me6-Tren)Br2] in situ prior to addition of monomer and initiator. Quantitative conversion is attained within 30 min for various degrees of polymerisation (DPn = 20–640) with SEC showing symmetrical narrow molecular weight distributions (Đ < 1.18) in all cases. Optimised conditions are subsequently applied for the preparation of a diblock copolymer poly(NIPAm)-b-(N-acryloylmorpholine), illustrating the versatility of this approach.
