Abstract
In this study, novel polymethacrylate derivate (PMPAEMA-Br macroinitiator) was synthesized by free radical polymerization reaction of 11-Bromoundec-1-ene and 2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (MPAEMA). The chemical characterization of PMPAEMA-Br macroinitiator were determinated by using spectoscopic methods such as proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR) and fourier transform infrared specroscopy (FTIR). The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The synthesized novel PMPAEMA-Br will be applicable as macroinitiator in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The novel synthesized PMPAEMA-Br is considered to find potential application studies in ATRP polymerization as to be a suitable initiator.
