Abstract Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) is one of utilized tools for polymer synthesis due to its ability to achieve low dispersity, tailored functionality, and complex structure simultaneously. Among the CRP methods, single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRT) has attracted attentions as molecular weight can be easily controlled at both low and high molecular weight regimes while preserving target functionalities. Herein, we demonstrate random copolymerization of functionalized methacrylate monomers by Cu(0)-mediated SET-LRP and calculate reactivity ratios of each monomer against methyl methacrylate by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Relatively similar composition of resulting copolymers is obtained compared to feed ratio of monomers. Density of functionalized site of copolymers can be easily controlled and expected by initial composition.
