| Sumario: | Abstract The synthesis of Cu0 nanoparticles on different supports and their activity in controlled living radical polymerization processes is presented. The type of support influences the final size of the copper nanoparticles as well as their adhesion to the support. These aspects have a direct influence on the characteristics of the polymers obtained. The best results were obtained for SiO2 particles, which afforded a good molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.25). The activity, recovery and recycling of the catalyst was explored for ultrafast polymerization reaction of butyl acrylate. Further, the terminal bromine reactivity was used for the synthesis of a block poly(n butyl acrylate-block-styrene). The influence of ligand type on the control of the reaction was studied. Also, a straightforward polymerization procedure without any ligand afforded a polydispersity value of 1.38. |
