Abstract
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was applied to the homopolymerization of glycidyl acrylate (GA). This functionalized monomer can be polymerized to high conversions and high molecular weights using halogenated initiators and CuBr/4,4β²βbis(5βnonyl)β2,2β²βbipyridine (dNbipy) as the catalyst. The polymerizations exhibit first order kinetics and molecular weights increase linearly with conversion. The MΜ~n~ of the products is controlled by the ratio Ξ[M]~0~/[I]~0~. The polymers obtained showed narrow molecular weight distributions, MΜ~w~/MΜ~n~ = 1.25.

## Abstract ATRP of 2β(__N,N__βdimethylamino)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[2β(__N,N__βdimethylamino)ethyl]amine. Good control over molecular weight was ach
