RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of hydroxybutyl methacrylate using a poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) precursor leads to diblock copolymer spheres, worms or vesicles. A pseudo-phase diagram is constructed and the vesicles are briefly evaluated as a Pickering emulsifier.

Macroporous crosslinked poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), p(GME), was synthesized by suspension copolymerization and modified by reaction of the pendant epoxy groups with ethylenediamine. The sorption rate and capacity of themodified copolymer, p(GME)-en for Rh(III) Au(III) and Pt(IV) ions were determined in batch experiments under non-competitive conditions. The uptake of Rh(III) was faster than those ofAu(III) and Pt(IV). The sorption capacity for Pt(IV)was determined in the pHrange 0.9?6.0. The maximum Pt(IV) uptake capacity onto p(GME)-en at pH 5.5 was 1.30 mmol/g.

We have demonstrated direct patterning of surface initiator layer (SIL) for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) using a sol–gel based “ink” containing (p-chloromethyl)phenyltrimethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane for an inkjet printer. Mechanically/chemically robust and smooth micropatterns of SIL several tens of micrometer in width and 15 nm thickness were directly printed on silicon substrates under mild conditions (open to the atmosphere, at ~28 °C under >60% relative humidity). Subsequent surface-initiated ATRP of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) under the air atmosphere gave area-selective/stepwise growth of homogeneous polyGMA brushes (pGMA) from the micropatterns of SIL. This area-selective growth of pGMA was also confirmed by a fluorescence microscopy. Because of chemical reactivity of epoxy groups on the grafted pGMA surfaces toward amino-functionalized nanomaterials, CdS/ZnS-alloyed quantum dots were spatially deposited only on the pGMA-covered regions with a complete area-selectivity.

Epoxy-functional poly(stearyl methacrylate)-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PSMA-PGlyMA) diblock copolymer nanoparticles are synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GlyMA) in mineral oil at 70 °C.
