M n, Đ, and the physical characterisation of the thermally synthesised polymers (Tg and WCA). Conversions of all the obtained polymers were >90%. Reactions were performed using 1% mol of DDM as chain transfer agent and at a scale of 10 g of initial monomers.

Corresponding data for polymers prepared by photo-initiated free radical-polymerization are available in Vallieres et al.20

b

M n and Đ were calculated by GPC.

c

Full monomer names and structures are given in Fig. S1.†

d

M n of pAODMBA was calculated via1H-NMR due to the poor solubility of this polymer in THF.
