AB - Gas/vapor‐deposition polymerization (GDP) of vinyl monomer is expected to exhibit a unique polymerization behavior different from its polymerization in the liquid phase. Free‐radical GDP of 2,2,3,3,3‐pentafluoropropyl methacrylate (FMA) was carried out with a conventional free‐radical initiator (azobisisobutyronitrile) on substrate surfaces. A linear relationship between the number‐average molecular weight and polymer yield was observed, and the consecutive copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and FMA led to the formation of block copolymer P(MMA‐block‐FMA). These results suggested that the GDP process on substrate surfaces has a living nature. During the process, the active species at growing chain ends may be immobilized on the deposit surface and restricted from the chain‐transfer reactions, resulting in a continuation of the propagation reaction. The GDP on substrate surfaces is therefore a physically controlled polymerization process. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 2621–2630, 2004
