Figure 1. The GPC curves of the A-A copolymer (macro-initiator) obtained from the dilute solution and
the B-A-A-B copolymer (chain extension).
Conditions: Solvent = o-xylene, o-xylene/BMA (1:1 v/v): [BMA] 0 = 3.15 M; Entry 6 of Table 1 was used as macro-initator,
[macro-initator] = 0.001 M, Mn = 33800, PDI = 1.43; [CuCl]0 = [CuCl2] × 5 = [PMDETA]0/3 = 0.002 M; Temp = 110℃.
