Abstract

In this paper, efficient MMA photo O-ATRP protocols conducted inside nanoreactors varying in nanostructured interfaces are reported for the first time. We showed that the microstructure of recovered polymers could be easily tuned just by implementing a given type of nanochannel (d = 10, 19-28, 35, 160 nm).
