Very-thick, concentrated brushes of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were synthesized by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization in N,N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, an ionic liquid (IL) solvent. Notably, the high polymerization rate in this IL produced 700 nm-thick PMMA brushes, while the grafting density was observed to increase with increasing feed concentration of a deactivator catalyst (Cu(II)Cl2/ligand), suggesting that grafting density is significantly determined by chain growth during a single activation cycle. A concentrated PMMA brush, with a number-average molecular weight of 1.28 × 106, a polydispersity index of 1.23, a brush-layer thickness of 510 nm, and a grafting density of 0.30 chains nm-2, was successfully synthesized by taking advantage of the IL effect that provides a higher propagation rate constant and a lower termination rate constant. Further increases in the brush-layer thickness were achieved by moderately pressurizing the polymerization medium (i.e., by the combined use of the IL solvent and pressure), and an approximately 1 μm-thick concentrated polymer brush was conveniently synthesized at 50 MPa.

Further increases in the brush-layer thickness were achieved by moderately pressurizing the polymerization medium (i.e., by the combined use of the IL solvent and pressure), and an approximately 1 mu m-thick concentrated polymer brush was conveniently synthesized at 50 MPa.

The synthesis of ultrathick concentrated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) brushes by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated. The reactions were performed with a catalyst system of Cu(I)Br/dinonyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dN-bipy) and Cu(II)Br /dN-bipy at 60 °C under a high pressure of 500 MPa. The equilibrium constant for this catalyst system was determined to be 1.5 × 10 , which followed the kinetics study and indicated good polymerization rate control. Under the high pressure of 500 MPa, a micrometer scale thick PMMA brush was obtained. During chain growth under the high pressure, the concentration of the deactivator catalyst was demonstrated to significantly affect the graft density of PMMA brushes, which was correlated to the number of monomers added in activation-deactivation cycles. A novel "cutoff" experiment and gel permeation chromatography demonstrated similar propagation for free polymers and graft polymers even under high pressure. 2 -6
