Biocompatible choline iodide catalysts for green living radical polymerization of functional polymers

Herein, nontoxic and metabolizable choline iodide analogues, including choline iodide, acetylcholine iodide, and butyrylcholine iodide, were successfully utilized as novel catalysts for “green” living radical polymerization (LRP). Through the combination of several green solvents (ethyl lactate, eth...
