Abstract:
This thesis reports the preparation of tailor-made poly (meth)acrylates bearing
reactive functional groups (like, furfuryl, adamantyl, and amino-adamantyl) via atom
transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), the post-polymerization reaction of these
specialty functional groups in the tailor-made polymers and the characterization of
these specialty polymers as well as of the modified polymers. Tailor-made homo-, coand
block copolymers bearing furfuryl functionality were successfully prepared by
ATRP.
