Diffusion‐controlled atom transfer radical polymerization with crosslinking

Abstract The reaction behavior of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) with crosslinking was studied using di(meth)acrylates as the model network‐forming system. The kinetics was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The structural evolution of the networks was investigated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and extraction/swelling measurements. The linear primary chains were obtained by hydrolysis of the networks and …
