Abstract
Controlled radical polymerization plays an important role in the synthesis of polymers of different kinds, as it allows for preparation of well-defined polymers with complex structure and composition. In this type of polymerization, the structure of initiator/mediator plays a key role in the kinetics of the process and, as a result, in the structure and properties of the final polymer. The present review describes application of fluorine-substituted compounds as initiators/control agents in different types of controlled radical polymerization techniques, namely, Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization, Nitroxide Mediated Polymerization, and Radical-Addition-Fragmentation-Transfer Polymerization. Though the number of examples is limited, there are some sufficient advantages of using fluorinated compounds as control agents.
