2,6-Diaminopyridine based functional polymers poly( N -(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)acrylamide) (PNAPAAm) and poly( N -(6-acetamidopyridin-2-yl)acrylamide) (PNAcAPAAm) were synthesized via free radical polymerization and in addition PNAcAPAAm was synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transf...
