Claim 0:
1. A method for polymerizing free radically copolymerizable monomers, the method comprising combining the copolymerizable monomers with:
(a) a deoxygenated aqueous polymerization medium comprising (i) a transition metal catalyst and (ii) an initiator comprising one or more redox transferable atoms or groups;
(b) an oxygen scavenger comprising glucose and glucose oxidase (GOx); and
(c) a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger comprising one or more of horseradish peroxidase, an α-keto-acid, catalase, and a catalase-like enzyme selected from the group consisting of ascorbate peroxidase, cytochrome C peroxidase, haloperoxidase, hemoprotein, glutathione peroxidase, laccase, monoamine oxidase, cytochrome P450 oxidase, NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase, L-gulonolactone oxidase, and superoxide dismutase,
thereby forming a conjugate.
