This Perspective summarizes the features and limitations of reversible addition–
fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, highlighting its strengths and …

In this report, we merge block copolymers with vitrimers in an effort to realize the prospect of
higher-order, nanoscale control over associative cross-link exchange and flow. We show the …

Cross-linked networks feature exceptional chemical and mechanical resilience but
consequently lack recyclability. Vitrimers have emerged as a class of materials that feature …

The discovery of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has provided an
avenue for the synthesis of a vast array of polymers with a rich variety of functionality and …

This Perspective reviews the design and synthesis of RAFT agents. First, we briefly detail the
basic design features that should be considered when selecting a RAFT agent or macro …

Applications for advanced functional soft materials that possess precisely engineered
properties and functional groups have been expanding significantly with the development of …

This critical review is concerned with the recent advances in graft polymerisation techniques
involving cellulose and its derivatives. It summarises some of the features of cellulose …

Recent mechanistic developments in the field of controlled/living radical polymerization
(CRP) are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on structure–reactivity correlations and …
