Abstract The first frontal atom transfer radical polymerization (FATRP) has been successfully carried out using tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate as a monomer. The effect of the catalyst/initiator ratio has been investigated and related to the front velocity and its maximum temperature. By comparing this new approach with classical radical polymerization routes and with conventional frontal polymerization, it was found that the so-obtained polymer is characterized by higher conversion, shorter reaction times, higher degradation temperature, and does not contain entrapped bubbles.

Poly(methyl methacrylate- co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate- co-vinylbenzyl chloride) microsphere was prepared by dispersion polymerization, initiated by light using water/ethanol mixture. The sulfonated hypercrosslinked (HXL) polymer resin was synthesized via three stages, namely, precursor synthesis (photoinitiated dispersion polymerization), post-polymerization after hypercrosslinking reaction, and post-polymerization before hypercrosslinking reaction. The optimized precursor was functionalized before the hypercrosslinking reaction to investigate its ion-exchange capacity, specific surface area (SSA), morphology, and thermal stability. Post-polymerization after hypercrosslinking reaction showed that the chlorine content and SSA are higher than post-polymerization before hypercrosslinking reaction. HXL reaction took place using Friedel–Crafts alkylation with the aid of FeCl3 catalyst. Lewis acid (FeCl3) also played a significant role which contributed to high SSA of the HXL polymer. The particles produced from photoinitiated dispersion polymerization have advantages and could be used in solid-phase extraction, drug delivery, and high-performance liquid chromatography.
