Time-Resolved Electrochemical Monitoring of Metal-Catalyzed Radical Polymerization Using a Carbon Ultramicroelectrode
An electrochemical method was optimized in this study to monitor the polymerization of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The presence of a metal catalyst adsorbed on the ultramicroelectrode (UME) surface, arising from the use of a transition metal catalyst such...
