Siloxyl and Hydroxyl functionalized polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

The syntheses of siloxyl and hydroxyl chain end functionalized polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) were effected by the following methods: (a) α-Siloxyl functionalized polymers were prepared in quantitative yields via a one-pot ATRP synthesis...
