TLDR
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most successful methods to polymerize styrenes, (meth)acrylates and a variety of other monomers in a controlled fashion, yielding polymers with molecular weights predetermined by the ratio of the concentrations of consumed monomer to introduced initiator and with low polydispersities as discussed by the authors.

Controlled/living radical polymerization: Features, developments, and perspectives

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent mechanistic developments in the field of controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) is presented, with particular emphasis on structure-reactivity correlations and "rules" for catalyst selection in ATRP, for chain transfer agent selection in reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and for the selection of an appropriate mediating agent in stable free radical polymerisation (SFRP), including organic and transition metal persistent radicals.

Hyperbranched polymers: from synthesis to applications

TL;DR: In this article, a couple-monomer methodology (CMM) is proposed for hyperbranched polymers, which is based on the in situ formation of ABn intermediates from specific monomer pairs.

Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process

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.

Controlled Living Radical Polymerization - Halogen Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization Promoted by a Cu(I)Cu(II) Redox Process

TL;DR: An extension of ATRA to atom transfer radical addition, ATRP, provided a new and efficient way to conduct controlled/living radical polymerization as mentioned in this paper, using a simple alkyl halide, R-X (X = Cl and Br), as an initiator and a transition metal species complexed by suitable ligand(s), M t n /L x, e.g., CuX/2,2'-bipyridine, as a catalyst.

Development of a Universal Alkoxyamine for “Living” Free Radical Polymerizations

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of different alkoxyamine structures led to α-hydrido derivatives based on a 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3oxy, 1, skeleton which were able to control the polymerization of styrene, acrylate and acrylamide based monomers.
