Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate)s with terminal bromine atom, prepared by bromination of anionically polymerized MMA, were used as ATRP macroinitiators giving di‐ and triblock copolymers with MMA, styrene and butyl acrylate blocks. Multifunctional ATRP macroinitiators were synthesized by introducing bromomethyl or 2‐bromoacyloxy groups onto the main chain of polystyrene or poly(4‐methyl styrene) and used for ATRP grafting of tert ‐butyl acrylate leading to densely grafted copolymers with more or less uniform grafts.
