Abstract
In this study, the group transfer polymerization (GTP) of the functional
monomer 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA)
is reported to produce polymers of different architectures and
topologies. TMSPMA is successfully polymerized and copolymerized
with GTP to produce well-defi ned (co)polymers that can
be used to fabricate functional hybrid materials like hydrogels and
fi lms.
