Abstract

Using methyl methacrylate polymerization as an example, the features of polymer synthesis in the presence of the catalytic system [methylene blue + ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate] at room temperature under visible light irradiation are investigated. The effect of polymerization conditions, including the light irradiation wavelength and various structure activators, on the monomer conversion and molecular weight characteristics of polymers is estimated. It is shown that polymerization can proceed in the controlled mode under mild temperature conditions according to the atom transfer mechanism (Metal Free Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization) to high conversions at low photocatalyst concentrations.
