Abstract

Poly(4-vinylpyridine-r-n-octadecyl acrylate) and poly(4-vinylpyridine-r-n-octadecyl methacrylate) were successfully synthesised via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using 10-phenylphenothiazine as the photo-induced catalyst. The resulting copolymers were structurally characterised by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and the interactions were analysed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
