The block copolymer brushes grafted from hollow sphere surface via reverse iodine transfer polymerization (RITP) were investigated in this work. A sufficient amount of azo initiator was introduced onto hollow sphere surface firstly. Then the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) was polymerized via surface-initiated reverse iodine transfer polymerization (RITP) using azo group modified hollow sphere as initiator. The microstructure of the samples was characterized by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, respectively. Results indicated that the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with end functionality of alkyl iodine group had grafted from hollow sphere surface. TEM observations showed that the average diameter of hollow core was central at 1.3-1.4 ?m and the average wall thickness increased from 103 nm to 138 nm and 172 nm after grafting polymerization of MMA and Tb complex, respectively. The closely linear plots of molecular weight (M(n)) versus conversion, linear kinetic plots for the free polymer formed in solution and the ability to extend the chains by sequential addition of monomer indicated that the RITP was a controlled process with a "living" characteristic.
