Abstract
The reverse ATRP of MMA using AIIBN/FeCl3/isophthalic acid as the initiatin g system was successfully performed. The new initiating system can be used to synthesize PMMA with high molecular weight and narrow polydispersity ind ex. The polymerization shows 'living'/controlled characteristics. Compared with other initiating system used in reverse ATRP, the easy availability an d non-toxicity of isophthalic acid make it very attractive.
