Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process
John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.

Graeme Moad,John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Julia Krstina,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Almar Postma,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, free radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization) is discussed with a view to answering the following questions: (a) How living is RAFT polymerization? (b) What controls the activity of thiocarbonylthio compounds in RAFT polymers, and (c) How do rates of polymerization differ from those of conventional radical polymerisation? (d) Can RAFT agents be used in emulsion polymerization; and (e) Retardation, observed when high concentra-
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in RAFT polymerization: the synthesis of polymers with defined end-groups
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview and discuss some recent developments in radical polymerization with reversible addition-and fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization). Guidelines for the selection of RAFT agents are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiocarbonylthio Compounds [SC(Ph)S−R] in Free Radical Polymerization with Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT Polymerization). Role of the Free-Radical Leaving Group (R)
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of substituents R of dithiobenzoate RAFT agents [SC(Ph)S−R] on the outcome of polymerizations of styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and butyl (BA) or methyl acrylate(MA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Living Radical Polymerization with Reversible Addition−Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT Polymerization) Using Dithiocarbamates as Chain Transfer Agents
TL;DR: In this article, the nonbonded electron pair of the nitrogen included as part of an aromatic system was used as an additive component for living radical polymerization with reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer.
