Iodine transfer radical polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising (meth)acrylic acid, salt thereof, or combination thereof, in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator, an organoiodide, and a solvent, is a useful method for making (meth)acrylic acid polymers. The amounts of components utilized can be 2 to 100 equivalents of acrylic acid and 2 to 100 equivalents of sodium acrylate, both dissolved in water to form a 15 to 50 weight percent solution, based on the total weight of the acrylic acid, sodium acrylate, and water; 0.05 to 1 equivalent of an azo polymerization initiator, 1 equivalent of an organoiodide; and 0 to 3 equivalents of an iodide salt. (Meth)acrylic acid polymer solutions are made by these methods. The (meth)acrylic polymers are useful as dispersants.

Iodine transfer polymerization method and compositions therefrom

Disclosed herein is an article comprising a substrate; a first region having a first brush polymer chemically bonded to the substrate; where the first brush polymer comprises repeat units of a first ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a second ethylenically unsaturated monomer; where the first ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprises a first electroactive moiety and where the second ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprises a second electroactive moiety that is different from the first electroactive moiety; where at least one of the first electroactive moiety or the second electroactive moiety is an emitter moiety and where the repeat units of the first ethylenically unsaturated monomer are covalently bonded to repeat units of the second ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

Photopatterned growth of electronically active brush polymers for light emitting diode displays

Disclosed herein is a device comprising a substrate; where the substrate comprises a plurality of brush polymers that are covalently or ionically bonded to the substrate; where at least a portion of the brush polymers comprise a covalently bonded emitter moiety.
