Abstract

State of the art of Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP) is presented. Stable free radical polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization, and degenerate transfer processes, including reversible addition fragmentation transfer are discussed as the most successful CRP techniques. They provide access to new materials from many commercially available monomers under undemanding conditions. Better understanding of the structure-reactivity relationship for the various CRPs and a deeper insight into the mechanistic features can expand range of polymerizable monomers and polymer architectures. Development of a precise relationship between macromolecular structure, processing and final properties of materials will help to find new applications and accelerate commercialization of CRP products.
