In this review, we provide a brief history, progress, and applications, and discuss the
remaining challenges of photocontrolled reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer …

Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) provides unprecedented control over
polymer composition, size, functionality, and topology. Various materials, such as linear …

Retrieving the starting monomers from polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation
radical polymerization has recently emerged as an efficient way to increase the recyclability …

Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

The kinetics of photoinduced electron/energy transfer-reversible addition fragmentation
chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization were investigated using a model system of methyl …

Xanthate-supported photo-iniferter (XPI)-reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer
(RAFT) polymerization is introduced as a fast and versatile photo-polymerization strategy …

Although dispersity has been demonstrated to be instrumental in determining many polymer
properties, current synthetic strategies predominantly focus on tailoring the dispersity of …

The spontaneous gradient polymerization was investigated by ATRP and RAFT. The model
monomers for both systems were methyl methacrylate (MMA) and ethyl acrylate (EA) …

Radical polymerization is the most widely applied technique in both industry and
fundamental science. However, its major drawback is that it typically yields polymers with …

Polymer degradation has many important applications, ranging from waste management
and reuse of polymers, to targeted delivery in nanomedicine. Vinyl ketone (VK) polymers …
