Abstract

There have been many studies on the mechanism of controlled/“living” radical polymerization regulated by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process. 1-10 These studies addressed three questions essential to the RAFT-based polymerization, ie, the presence of the intermediate radical, the origin of the retarded polymerization rate, and the terminal structure of the dormant chains. The presence of the ...
