Activators regeneration by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) of 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AMA) was successfully performed for the first time. The polymerizations were conducted at 35 °C in isopropanol (IPA)/water mixtures or pure water, using CuBr2/TPMA (TPMA: tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) as a metal catalyst complex with slow feeding of ascorbic acid (AscA) to allow regeneration of the activator species. The reactions showed first-order kinetics with monomer conversion and high monomer conversion (>90%), and controlled polymers (Đ ≈ 1.3) were obtained using optimized conditions. For the first time, as a result of the PAMA’s high chain-end functionality, it was possible to extend the polymer and synthesize a well-defined block copolymer (PAMA-b-POEOMA) (OEOMA: oligo(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate) by ATRP techniques, using AMA as the first block. PAMA-based nanogels, with potential biomedical applications, were prepared by ARGET ATRP in inverse miniemulsion.
