Abstract

A new method is proposed to study the process of controlled/living radical copolymerization as well as the structures of the products. Computer simulation has been carried out to produce this LRP or CRP propagation including the activation/deactivation process. The information about segment distribution was obtained for the first time. The results show that under a stationary condition, controlled/living copolymer's composition and sequence distribution are totally identical to those prepared from the conventional free radical copolymerization (FRcP). In other words, the activation/deactivation process of controlled/liYing radical copolymerization has no effect on copolymer's microcomposition and microsequence structure.
