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.

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.
