These data demonstrate the possibility to obtain high molecular weight multiblock copolymers using PET-RAFT polymerization. Note 2: a) The reactions were performed in DMSO at room temperature for 4h under 4.8 W Blue LED lamp as light source with an initial [Ir catalyst]/[ma] molar ratio of 5ppm. We did not add catalyst during the chain extension. After 5 chain extensions, the polymerization was diluted by addition of DMSO due to viscosity and carried out using MA/DMSO mixture of 25/75 (v/v); b) Monomer conversion determined by 1 H NMR spectroscopy was calculated by the following equation: α = (1 - [(I ppm /3)/(I 3.6ppm /3)]) 100; c) Theoretical molecular weight calculated using the following equation: M n, th = [MA] 0 /[BTPA] 0 MW MA α + MW BTPA, where [MA] 0, [BTPA] 0, MW MA, α and MW BTPA correspond to MA and BTPA concentration, molar mass of MA, monomer conversion and molar mass of BTPA; d) Molecular weight and polydispersity determined by GPC analysis (THF used as eluent). The molecular weights were recalculated using Mark-Houwing coefficients of PSt in THF (K = dl/g and α = 0.716) and PMA in THF (K = dl/g and α = 0.660); 2 e) End group fidelity was calculated by deconvolution of molecular weight distribution using previous methods S41
42 described in the literature. 4-6 Dead chains Living chains Molecular weight (g/mol) Figure S32. Number of chains versus molecular weight obtained by photoinduced living polymerization after 9 chain extensions. Note 1: To estimate the livingness according to GPC data, we first converted the molecular weight distributions to the corresponding number distributions (Figure S32). The y-axis values in the GPC distributions (normally what is given by the GPC software) are proportional to nm 2, where n is the number of chains and M is the molecular weight. 7 It follows that the number distribution, where the y-axis values are proportional to the number of chains, is given by w(log M)/M 2. Thus, if one plots w(log M)/M 2 vs M, the area under the curve between two given values of M is proportional to the number of chains within that range of M values. This calculation is estimated using the following hypothesis: the low molecular weight tails is attributed to dead polymers. S42
