A method for the production of hyperbranched polyacrylates includes the step of reacting acrylic inimers through controlled living polymerization in aqueous conditions. The inimers may have the formula:
Wherein X is a halogen, a thiocarbonylthio or nitroxide group, and R is hydrogen, methyl, dodecyl, and groups containing mesogenin substituents, fluorocarbon substituents, siloxane substituents and oxyethylene substituents. In particular, the aqueous condition is emulsion or miniemulsion. The polymerization may be reverse ATRP, SN&RI and AGET polymerization or RAFT polymerization (with thiocarbonylthio X groups) or nitroxide mediated polyeization (with nitroxide X groups).
Methods of functionalizing α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers and coupling α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers are provided. Suitable α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers include α-halogenated polyesters and α-halogenated acrylate-based inimers. Methods include coupling α-halogenated polyesters and functionalizing α-halogenated polyesters without polymer cleavage. Certain α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers may be functionalized, crosslinked or, intiate polymerization by inducing the α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers to make a dioxolenium ion intermediate. The α-halogenated hydroxy acid-based polymers may also be functionalized using a radical trap.
