The new initiating system can be used to synthesize PMMA with high molecular weight and narrow polydispersity index. The polymerization shows ¡®living¡¯/controlled characteristics. Compared with other initiating system used in reverse ATRP, the easy availability and non-toxicity of isophthalic acid make it very attractive. %K reverse ATRP %K MMA %K nontoxic ligand %K AIBN/FeCl3 isophthalic acid system %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02900681
