The surface initiator was prepared by the reaction of ethylene glycol with 2-bromoisobutyrl bromide followed by the reaction with phosphorus oxychloride and hydrolysis. This initiator is anchored to magnetite nanoparticles via physisorption. The ATATRP of methyl methacrylate was carried out in the presence of CuBr PMDETA complex without a sacrificial initiator and the grafting density is found to be as high as molecules nm2. The organic-inorganic hybrid material thus prepared shows exceptional stability in organic solvents unlike unfunctionalized magnetite nanoparticles which tend to flocculate. The polymer brushes of various number average molecular weights were prepared and the molecular weight was determined using size exclusion chromatography after degrafting the polymer from the magnetite core. Thermo-gravimetric analysis X-ray photoelectron spectra and diffused reflection FT-IR were used to confirm the grafting reaction.
