Poly(methyl methacrylate/n-butyl acrylate) [P(MMA/BA)] copolymer with an alternating structure was synthesized via an activator regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) atom transfer radical (co)polymerization (ATRP) of 2-ethylfenchyl methacrylate (EFMA) andn-butyl acrylate (BA) with subsequent postpolymerization modifications (PPM). Due to the steric hindrance of the bulky pendant group of EFMA, as well as the low reactivity ratio of BA in copolymerization with methacrylates, copolymerization of EFMA and BA generated a copolymer with a high content of alternating dyads. A subsequent PPM procedure of the alternating EFMA/BA copolymer was comprised of the hydrolysis of a tertiary ester by trifluoroacetic acid and methylation by (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane. After the modifications, the architecture of the obtained alternating MMA/BA copolymers was compared with gradient and statistical copolymers with overall similar compositions, molecular weights, and dispersities.13C NMR indicated the absence of either MMA/MMA/MMA or BA/BA/BA sequences, in contrast to an abundance of homotriads in either the statistical or especially in the gradient copolymer. All three copolymers had similar glass transition temperatures, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), but the alternating copolymer had the narrowest range of glass transition.
