This lecture will describe the use of controlled/living radical polymerizations to prepare functional polymer zwitterions. The functional group tolerance of atom transfer radical polymerization, as well as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, is key to realizing novel polymer materials with well-designed presentation of functional groups. This talk will specifically describe the integration of functionality directly into zwitterionic moieties to realize new advances in functional materials chemistry.
