This review is an extensive update to the comprehensive review on controlled/living radical
polymerization (CLRP) in dispersed systems published in 2008. 1 A note on nomenclature …

Nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) is a controlled/living radical polymerization
(CLRP) technique that enables the design of well-defined, functional and complex …

This Perspective presents recent advances in macromolecular engineering enabled by
ATRP. They include the fundamental mechanistic and synthetic features of ATRP with …

Zwitterionic polymers are characterized with equal anion and cation groups on the
molecular chains, which make them highly hydrophilic and antifouling. They can resist …

This review encompasses the fundamentals of kinetics of atom transfer radical
polymerization (ATRP). ATRP is a versatile reversible-deactivation radical polymerization …

Precision control of radical polymerization, or living radical polymerization, has been among
the most important and long-waited subjects in polymer chemistry and macromolecular …

Microgels/nanogels are crosslinked polymeric particles, which can be considered as
hydrogels if they are composed of water soluble/swellable polymer chains. They possess …

The past two decades have evidenced a tremendous growth in the field of responsive
polymers, which can exhibit reversible or irreversible changes in physical properties and/or …

Emulsion polymerization involves the propagation reaction of free radicals with monomer
molecules in a very large number of discrete polymer particles (1016–1018dm− 3) …

Virtually every branch of science, technology, and art uses a plethora of polymeric materials.
These include not only “pure” linear, branched, or cross-linked (gels, rubbers, etc.) polymers …
