Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Well‐defined poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) were synthesized by normal and activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using a new ionic liquid monomer, <italic>N</italic>‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐tris[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl]ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (VBTA⁺Tf₂N⁻). ATRP was also used for the preparation of PIL block copolymers using di‐functional PIL macroinitiators. Differential scanning calorimetry measurement showed the polyVBTA⁺Tf₂N⁻ had a rather low glass transition temperature of −43°C. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
