Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)  has been successfully used for preparation of advanced materials with potential energy-related applications. They include electronically conductive materials such as polyaniline and polypyrrole, ionically conductive polymers, including molecular brushes with poly(ethylene oxide) side chains with high Li cations conductivities, various carbon nanostructures, including functionalized graphenes as well as hyperbranched polymers for dielectric applications. Also, various materials for reversible CO2 capture have been prepared and evaluated.  The synthesis and properties of these advanced nanostructured specialty materials enabled by ATRP will be presented. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Support from the National Science Foundation (DMR 09-69301) is gratefully acknowledged.  This research was also partially supported by WCU(World Class University) program through the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (R33-2008-000-10035-0).
