Abstract:
Diselenide-containing polymers are facilely synthesized from polymers prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Benefiting from the ATRP technology, this protocol provides a flexible route for controlling the polymer structure, which allows for a great variety of architectures of selenium-containing polymer materials for applications in various fields. The oxidative and reductive responsive behavior of the obtained diselenide-containing polymers is also investigated.
