Abstract
ATRP of 2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate (DMAEA) was investigated using CuBr or CuCl with different multidentate ligands. The catalyst was found active for DMAEA polymerization when ligated with tris[2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl]amine. Good control over molecular weight was achieved, but quaternization of the terminal monomeric/polymeric tertiary amine by the CBr group of polyDMAEA caused chain termination. Using a chloride‐based system helped to suppress chain termination. Amphiphilic poly(methyl acrylate)‐block‐polyDMAEA was synthesized using polyMA as a macroinitiator.
Molecular weights and polydispersities of polyDMAEA versus DMAEA conversion for different catalyst systems.

## Abstract **Summary:** Controlled polymerization of __N__‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) was achieved by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using ethyl 2‐chloropropionate (ECP) as initiator and CuCl/tris(2‐dimethylaminoethyl)amine (Me~6~TREN) as a catalytic system. The polymerization was c
The application of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to the homopolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, a functional monomer, is reported. The polymerizations exhibit first-order kinetics, and molecular weights increase linearly with conversion. Polydispersities remain low throughout th
