First example of the atom transfer radical polymerisation of an acidic monomer: direct synthesis of methacrylic acid copolymers in aqueous media

Abstract
Sodium methacrylate is polymerised directly via atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) in aqueous media using a poly(ethylene oxide)-based macro-initiator; the resulting poly(ethylene oxide-block-sodium methacrylate) copolymers were obtained in good yield and have narrow molecular weight distributions as evidenced by aqueous GPC.
