THE ART OF ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION
Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Department of Chemistry and Center for
Macromolecular Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
Abstract: Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) has evolved and emerged as one of the most versatile of synthetic polymerization chemistry techniques. A deeper insight into this polymerization process and the fine-tuning of reaction parameters in order to enhance polymerization control will be presented. The resulting materials with controlled regio-, stereo- and chemoselectivities, self-organize, or can be pre-organized, into regular nano-structured morphologies. The potential applications of these interesting and unique materials will also be discussed.
Presenter: Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Department of Chemistry and Center for Macromolecular Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, and 2004 MMI Turner Alfrey Visiting Professor.
