Toward Living Radical Polymerization


Toward Living Radical Polymerization is a scholarly work by Ezio Rizzardo, Graeme Moad, and San Thang, published in 2008 in ''Accounts of Chemical Research''. The main subjects of the publication include living free-radical polymerization, chain-growth polymerization, Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT), precipitation polymerization, radical polymerization, polymer chemistry, polymer, cationic polymerization, living polymerization, chemistry, ionic polymerization, kinetic chain length, chain transfer, photopolymer, polymerization, actinide chemistry, Solution polymerization, Nitroxide Mediated Radical Polymerization, and Cobalt-mediated radical polymerization. The authors devised NMP in the early 1980s and have exploited this method extensively for the synthesis of styrenic and acrylic polymers.
