Abstract
AbstractIn 2010, an IUPAC task group comprising Aubrey Jenkins, Dick Jones and Graeme Moad coined ‘reversible‐deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP)’ as a new term to describe what up to that time had been known variously as living or controlled radical polymerization. This paper describes the steps and missteps in the terminological development of RDRP. The paper that introduced the term is currently one of the more highly cited IUPAC terminology papers. © 2022 Commonwealth of Australia.
