Abstract
The use of polymer materials becomes very important in our everyday life and their applications include several industries. The majority of such materials were synthesized for a long time via free radical polymerization FRP process. However, the obtained architectures were generally not controlled. In the mid 1990s, new controlled polymerization mechanisms were developed in the objective to synthesis a new controlled polymers able to satisfy our various needs in different sectors.
In this contribution, we are particularly interested in the synthesis and characterization of two controlled macromolecular families: gradient and block copolymers. As it will be presented, the nitroxyde mediated polymerization NMP was successfully applied in the synthesis of those complex architectures, using Styrene, Butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate as monomers at different temperatures. Many experimental techniques were preferentially chosen to confirm the obtaining of required architectures. As example, let us quote SEC, H-RMN, RMN-HMBC and DSC techniques.
