Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), as small non-coding RNA fragments, are one of the widely
studied RNAi inducers for gene modulations. The reasonably designed siRNA probes …

Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has made a huge
impact in macromolecular design. The first block copolymers were described early on …

This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical
polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC (= S) SR) by a …

This Perspective reviews the design and synthesis of RAFT agents. First, we briefly detail the
