Abstract

Multi-vinyl monomer, which contains many vinyl groups in a molecule, was prepared by esterification of hydroxyl groups of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) with methacryloyl chloride. Then, copper-mediated atom transfer radical polymerization was carried out as a template polymerization. The propagation of polymerization was investigated by kinetic analysis.
