Abstrakt: Cobalt-mediated radical polymerization (CMRP) enables the preparation of both short and long polymers from acrylic and vinyl ester monomers with low dispersity. Here we describe the synthesis, purification, and characterization of polymeric mimics of ice-binding proteins based on the water-soluble polymer poly(vinyl alcohol) by CMRP. Block copolymers of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid) were prepared from the precursor copolymers poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(acrylonitrile) upon hydrolysis. Copolymers comprising up to hundreds of monomers and dispersities M w /M n  < 1.3 were produced by this method.
