✦ Synopsis


Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was performed to prepare azide end-functional polystyrene (PSt-N 3 ) with predesigned molecular weight and narrow polydispersity. Then C 60 end-capped polystyrene was synthesized by reacting C 60 with PSt-N 3 . The UV-VIS, DSC, GPC characterizations indicated that C 60 was chemically bonded to the end of polystyrene chain, and the brown powder products, which can be dissolved in THF, CHCl 3 , DMF, and so forth, were monoadditional and diadditional according to C 60 .
