Popis: Abstract Rare‐earth metal‐mediated group‐transfer polymerization (REM‐GTP) offers distinctive features over common polymerization techniques, such as living character, a broad scope of functional monomers, high activity, excellent control of the polymeric parameters as well as inherent chain‐end functionalization. Through the latter, polymers with reactive end‐groups become feasible, opening the pathway for further post‐polymerization functionalization. In this study, a straightforward graft‐to immobilization of the Michael‐type polymer poly(diethyl vinylphosphonate) (PDEVP) on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is reported. Hence, a customized azide initiator is synthesized and studied in the CH bond activation with various lanthanide‐based catalysts and the subsequent polymerization of diethyl vinylphosphonate (DEVP). The successful attachment of the azide end‐group is demonstrated via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and the synthesized polymers are subjected to immobilization on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes in a graft‐to approach. The prepared MWCNT:PDEVP composites are analyzed via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis (EA), Raman spectroscopy, X‐Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the versatility of this approach is shown via the stabilization of MWCNT dispersions in water.
