Abstract:
Poly(butyl acrylate) (PBuA) of high molecular weight was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in ethyl acetate. Whereas for low molecular weight polymers, a linear increase of the number-average molecular weight, Mn, versus conversion and narrow molecular weight distributions indicate the suppression of side reactions, a downward curvature in the plot of Mn versus conversion was observed for high molecular weights (Mn > 50 000). This effect is explained by chain transfer reactions, leading to branched polymers. GPC measurements with a viscosity detector give evidence for the branched structure of high molecular weight polymers obtained in ATRP. In addition, transfer to solvent or monomer is likely to occur.
