Linear poly­(n-butyl acrylate)-gradient-poly­(methyl methacrylate) (PBA-grad-PMMA) copolymers and SiO2-g-PBA-grad-PMMA particle brushes were synthesized by activator regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization via a semibatch copolymerization method in which the methyl meth...
