Abstract

Back Cover: RAFT polymerization yields reactive block copolymers bearing the pentafluorophenyl ester (PFPA) group, and subsequent Click amidation using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl- (TEMPO-) and imidazolium-functionalized primary amines produces the corresponding functional block copolymers, leading to installation of statistical radical and ionic- sites into the PFPA segment. The monolayered thin film devices fabricated using the obtained block copolymers exhibit repeatable switching (memory) characteristic of electric conductivity (on/off ratio > 103) under a bias voltage. Further details can be found in the article by T. Suga,* K. Aoki, T. Yashiro, and H. Nishide* on page 53.
