Abstract
Photo-controlled organocatalyzed living radical polymerization was developed. The polymerization was induced and controlled at desired wavelengths over a wide range of wavelengths (350-750 nm) by exploiting suitable catalysts. This polymerization was finely responsive to the irradiation power and wavelength. The polymer molecular weight and its distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.1–1.4) were well controlled for methacrylate monomers. The monomer scope encompassed various functional methacrylates, and their block copolymers were obtained. Applicability to a wide range of polymer designs is an advantage of this polymerization.
