Synthesis of fluorescent, dansyl end-functionalized PMMA and poly(methyl methacrylate-<i>b</i>-phenanthren-1-yl-methacrylate) diblock copolymers, at ambient temperature
propagation rate. SET‐RAFT method appears to be a simpler tool to produce methacrylate polymers, under ambient conditions, in comparison with ATRP and SET‐LRP. Fluorescentdiblockcopolymers, P(MMA‐b‐PhMA), were synthesized. These were highly fluorescent with two distinguishable emission signatures from the dansyl group and the phenanthren‐1‐yl methacrylate block. The fluorescence emission spectra reveal interesting
