Synthesis of amino acid-based polymers via atom transfer radical polymerization in aqueous media at ambient temperature

Well-defined acryloyl beta-alanine (ABA) polymers were synthesized directly via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) under near physiological conditions using various water soluble initiators with high yield and narrow molecular weight distributions.
