Abstract

Poly(methyl methacrylate)s of extremely high molecular weights (> 10⁶) and narrow molecular weight distributions (M̄_w/ M̄_n < 1.2:1) were easily obtained by living/controlled free-radical polymerization under high hydrostatic pressure (5 kbar; see scheme, AIBN = 2,2′-azobis-(isobutyronitrile)). This technique provides conditions amenable to industrial scale-up.
