“One-pot” dispersion ATRP and alkyne-azide Huisgenʹs 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in supercritical carbon dioxide: Towards the formation of functional microspheres

Functional polymers were successfully prepared in scCO2 by combining alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar Huisgenʹs cycloaddition and dispersion ATRP in a “one-pot” process using new perfluorinated polymeric amino-based ligands that had a dual role, i.e. the complexation of the copper catalyst and the stabilization of growing particles.
