The discovery, in the mid 1990s, that certain cobalt, ruthenium and copper complexes could
effectively control the radical polymerization of a number of polar olefins, allowing for the …

Controlled radical polymerization has become increasingly important over the past decade
and a half, allowing for the facile synthesis of specific macromolecular architectures with …

Conventional free radical polymerization (RP) has many advantages (see Chapters 2–4
discussing specific polymers prepared by radical polymerization). The procedure can be …

The present review relates generally to improved processes in which it is possible to control
the growth steps of a radical polymerization to produce relatively monitored chain-length …

Polyorganosiloxanes have been produced industrially since the early 1940s, with the
development of methylchlorosilane synthesis (Rochow-Muller direct synthesis) at the …

Controlled/living radical polymerization employs the principle equilibration between growing
free radicals and various types dormant species. There are several approaches to achieve …

The authors present the general concepts of living polymerization followed by peculiarities
of LRP. A systematic classification of LRP precedes the discussion of historical …

This review covers the current status of living free radical polymerization (LFRP) methods
and assesses recent advances made especially in the recently years. Three LFRP methods …

NMR spectroscopy is being used extensively to study both synthetic and natural polymers.
Many techniques and methodologies have been developed, and these have been applied …

Bulk controlled radical polymerizations allow for the preparation of polymers with controlled
molecular weights, end functionalities and low polydispersities. It is possible, using these …
