METHOD OF PREPARING "LIVING" RADICAL POLYMERS, AND POLYMERS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C08F4/00 C08F297/00 C08F293/00 C08F257/02 C07C395/00 

FIELD: polymer production.

SUBSTANCE: invention provides a method for preparing "living" vinyl polymer via "living" radical polymerization characterized by that vinyl monomer is polymerized using organotellurium compound depicted by formula (1) and azo-type polymerization initiator, where R¹ represents C₁-C₈-alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, or aromatic heterocyclic group; each of R² and R³ represents hydrogen atom or C₁-C₈-alkyl; and R⁴ optionally substituted aryl aryl, aromatic heterocyclic group, acyl, oxycarbonyl, or cyano; said organotellurium compound and said azo-type polymerization initiator being used at molar ratio 1:(0.1-100), respectively. "Living" vinyl polymer is also described as well as mixture of organotellurium compound depicted by formula (1) and azo-type polymerization initiator wherein the two components are present at weight ratio as above.

EFFECT: achieved preparation of "living" vinyl polymer with precisely controlled molecular mass and molecular mass distribution.
