Thermo-regulated phase separable catalysis (TPSC)-based atom transfer radical polymerization in a thermo-regulated ionic liquid†
Abstract
A thermo-regulated phase separable catalysis (TPSC) system for AGET ATRP based on a thermo-regulated ionic liquid was developed for the first time. The corresponding transition metal catalysts could be easily recovered and reused several times with negligible loss of catalytic activity.
