A single-pot atom transfer radical polymerization was used for the first time to successfully synthesize polyacrylonitrile with a mol. weight higher than 80,000 and a narrow polydispersity as low as 1.18. This was achieved with CuBr/isophthalic acid as the catalyst, 2-bromopropionitrile as the initiator, and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent. The effects of the solvent on the polymerization of acrylonitrile were also investigated. The induction period was shorter in N,N-dimethylformamide than in propylene carbonate and toluene, and the rate of the polymerization in N,N-dimethylformamide was fastest. The mol. weight of polyacrylonitrile agreed reasonably well with the theor. mol. weight in N,N-dimethylformamide. When chlorine was used in either the initiator or the catalyst, the rate of polymerization showed a trend of decreasing, and the mol. weight deviated from the theor. predication significantly.
