SfMA-HlFl

All homo- and copolymers were synthesized by radical polymerization at 80 C for 4 hours using AIBN (2-4 mol% with respect to the total monomer amount) as radical initiator. The solvent used depended on the monomer sfMA-HlFl and sfMA-H2F4 were polymerized in chloroform, while sfMA-HlOFlO and sfMA-H2F8 copolymerizations with MMA required BFMB as solvent. The polymerizations were carried out under stirring in a two-necked Schlenk flask adapted to a Schlenk line after three freeze-vacuum thaw cycles in nitrogen atmosphere. After polymerization, the reaction mixture was diluted with BFMB/CHCI3 and precipitated into the 10-fold excess of methanol, filtered off, washed, and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C. 

The copolymerization parameters r for MMA/sfMA-H2F8 (obtained by inline-NMR monitoring), and for MMA/sfMA-HlFl in dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) resulting from the copolymerization diagram at low conversions [104] are summarized in Table 11.1.
