An initiator containing modifier, 4-hydroxybutyl 2-bromopropionate (CBr), was synthesized by the reaction of 1,4-butanediol and alpha-bromoisobutyryl bromide. Subsequently, graphene oxide was functionalized with CBr to yield initiator-anchored graphene (GCBr). Then, GCBr was used as the precursor for ATRP of styrene.

The well-defined poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA) brushes were grafted from the surfaces of the activated carbon (AC) powder with the controlled/"living" radical polymerization technique. First, surface functional groups of the AC powder were homogenized to hydroxyl groups by oxidizing with nitric acid and then reducing with lithium tetrahydroaluminate ( LiAlH 4) at first. Second, the surface hydroxyl groups were treated with bromoacetylbromide, and the bromoacetyl groups were introduced. And in the third step, the bromoacetyl activated carbon ( BrA-AC ) powder were used as macro-initiators for the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline and Cu(I)Br as catalyst in a water system. The graft parameters calculated from the elemental analyses (EA) results, conversion of monemer (C%) and percentage of grafting (PG%) were 5.74% and 28.7%, respectively, after polymerizing for 5 h. The graft polymerizations exhibited the characteristics of a controlled/"living" polymerization, and no homopolymer was found in the proposed polymerizing process. The preparation procedure of the poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) grafted activated carbon (PHEA-AC) powder was also investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The PHEA-AC powder is expected to be used as selective adsorbents because of their abundant homogenized surface hydroxyl groups.

In this work, 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide was first reacted with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of cotton fabric to obtain cotton macroinitiator (C-Br) for surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of (2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). Then C-Br was grafted with DMAEMA via the ATRP method in water aqueous. The tertiary amino groups of immobilized DMAEMA polymer on the cotton fabric were quaternized with bromomethane to produce the antibacterial function. The structure of cotton-grafted-PDMAEMA (C-g-PDMAEMA) was characterized by attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microcopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that DMAEMA was grafted onto the surface of cotton and the tertiary amino groups were quaternized. The C-g-PDMAEMA has good thermostability. The whiteness and strength of C-g-PDMAEMA decreased slightly, but the wrinkle recovery angle increased distinctly compared with the control sample. The quaternized grafted cotton has the great antibacterial property and good laundry resistance.

Graft copolymer of Amylopectin and PMMA was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. The hydroxyl groups of amylopectin partially substituted with tert-butyl a-bromoisobutyrate to form tert-butyl a-bromoisobutyrate (TBBiB ) groups. This compound is known as an efficient macro-initiator for ATRP process. This research, aimed to obtain a bio based polymer of Amylopectin, in which the amylopectin was used as macro-initiator in the ATRP of MMA. The experiment was carried out in the homogeneous system under temperature range of 40 – 70°C in DMSO solution using TEA as catalyst. The modified amylopectin-TBBiB then was grafted to methyl methacrylate trough ATRP. Product characterization indicates that the graft copolymer Amylopectin-g-PMMA is efficient and the obtained product owns well defined structures
