Abstract

DOI: 10.1002/marc.201500677
After publication of the original article, it was brought to the authors’ attention that the citation of ref. 2e in the introduction was imprecise.
The originally published article states that:
“More recently, Barner–Kowollik elucidated the termination mechanism of photoinitiated polymerization of MA by mass spectroscopy and concluded that Comb is the major mechanism.[2e] However, the conclusion is not fully supported experimentally because the analyzed mass range was quite limited and the effect of the primary radicals generated from the initiators was not taken into account.”
However, this should instead read:
“...However, the conclusion is not fully supported experimentally because the analyzed mass range was quite limited and the effect of the primary radicals generated from the initiators was not taken into account, as the original authors of this study already pointed out.”
The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
