Thus, for polymerisations initiated by ACVA, termination by combination produces polymer molecules with carboxyl groups at both ends (i.e. telechelic polymers, see Refs. and whereas termination by disproportionation produces two types of polymer molecules. One type possesses a carboxyl group at one end and a double bond at the other whereas the other possesses a carboxyl group at one end and a hydrogen atom at the other. This latter species is the desired one for the purposes of the present discussion since it can be reacted with a compound such as glyddyl methacrylate to produce a macromer. The question which Waite Thompson asked themselves was, How might the yield of the desired carboxyl terminated polymer be increased at the expense of the undesired species ... 

Physical incorporation of different porphines (9) and also phthalocyanines (2) into polymer matrices were done by pearl polymerisations of glyddyl or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate -The amount of inorrporated dtielate is 0,05 to 0.4 wt %(50-70% of the inserted porphyrine). The surface hole is small enough to prevent diffusion of N4-chelates from the interior of the matrix. Also polymers, sudi as polystyrene or polyvinylalcohole, were directly used to incorporate porphyrines or phthalocyanines. ...
