PG - 1806-9 LID - 10.1002/marc.201500356 [doi] AB - In this study, the group transfer polymerization (GTP) of the functional monomer 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) is reported to produce polymers of different architectures and topologies. TMSPMA is successfully polymerized and copolymerized with GTP to produce well-defined (co)polymers that can be used to fabricate functional hybrid materials like hydrogels and films.
