Abstract
The necessity of sustainable development in the chemical industry has continuously drawn attention to find safe, environmentally friendly and atom-economic chemical processes, which is defined in the 12 principles of green chemistry. Merging photoredox catalysis and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation, the photoinduced electron/energy transfer (PET)-RAFT process has opened up a new way of performing reversible deactivation radical polymerisation for well-defined polymer synthesis using light as an external stimulus. While providing an increased level of control (spatiotemporal, wavelength, and intensity control) over the polymerisation, PET-RAFT has many attractive attributes (abundant catalyst availability, catalyst recyclability, selectivity and oxygen tolerance) to be green and sustainable, which is intriguing for precision polymer manufacturing in industry.
