TL;DR: A review of the progress made in reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and macromolecular design via the interchange of xanthates (MADIX) polymerization can be found in this article.

TL;DR: The control of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution has enabled access to complex architectures and site specific functionality that were previously impossible to achieve via traditional free radical polymerizations.

TL;DR: This critical review is concerned with the recent advances in graft polymerisation techniques involving cellulose and its derivatives and highlights the recent developments in polymer synthesis that allow increased control over the grafting process and permit the production of functional celluloses that possess improved physical properties and chemical properties.

TL;DR: The authors summarizes the features and limitations of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, as our understanding of the process from both a mechanistic and an application point of view has matured over the past 20 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize techniques for conjugating responsive polymers to biomacromolecules and highlight applications of these bioconjugates reported so far, and aim to show how advances in synthetic tools could lead to rapid expansion in the variety and uses of responsive bi-jugates.
