A visible light responsive MOF material has been constructed by the pillared-layer approach to conduct atom transfer radical polymerization. The as-prepared polymers show narrow molecular weight distribution and high retention of chain-end activity.

The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/FeCl3/triphenylphosphine(PPh3) as the initiating system, was successfully carried out in bulk at 80°C. Plots of In ([M]0/[M]) vs time and molecular weight evolution vs monomer conversion presented a linear dependence and the polymerization was proved to accord with the first-order kinetics. After 10 hours’ reaction, the monomer conversion was up to 84%. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used in testing the molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight distribution, the results showed that polymer molecular weight distribution was as low as 1.018 (Mn=3288 g/mol). Moreover, the resultant polymer was characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and Pyrolysis GC-MS, and the results showed that the polymerization mechanism is consistent with RATRP.

We report on the formation of poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) with a relatively-narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) by means of thermally-driven directional free-radical polymerization carried out in polymerization chambers featuring two parallel glass walls separated by various distances, ranging from sub-millimeter to a few millimeters.

Molecular weight distribution imposes considerable influence on the properties of polymers, making it an important parameter, impacting morphology and structural behavior of polymeric materials.
