Abstract
Summary: ATRP of butyl α‐fluoroacrylate (FABu) was carried out at 90 °C using methyl 2‐bromoisobutyrate (2‐MBiB) as initiator and the homogeneous catalyst CuBr/1,1,4,7,10,10‐hexamethyltriethylenetetramine (HMTETA). Telechelic oligomers were obtained by coupling the bromo terminated polymers in the presence of Cu^(0)^ and 2,2′‐bipyridyl ligand. The ^1^H and ^19^F NMR, SEC and MALDI TOF analyses show that the poly(FABu) chains recombination was the main reaction (80% yield). About 20% of disproportionation reaction also occurs in the process, whereas transfer reactions can be neglected.
Compounds produced by recombination, disproportionation and transfer during the coupling reaction of poly(FABu) oligomers.

## Abstract Initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) bearing different functional groups (aldehyde, aromatic hydroxyl, dimethyl amino) were synthesized and characterized. Monotelechelics with low molecular weight were obtained by ATRP of styrene using these initiators in the prese
## Abstract Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a robust method for the preparation of well‐defined (co)polymers. This process has also enabled the preparation of a wide range of polymer brushes where (co)polymers are covalently attached to either curved or flat surfaces. In this review,
