Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerisation (RDRP) is one of the most exciting developments in chemistry over the past few decades, but it is rarely mentioned when polymerisation mechanisms are introduced in the final years of secondary education or first years of tertiary education. We propose that...
Reversible-deactivation radical polymerisation (RDRP) techniques are essential in modern polymer chemistry. Over the years, they have become not only fantastic lab tools for the easy preparation of structurally complex polymers but also an industrial reality. This article reviews industrial developments ...
reversible deactivation radical polymerizationsustainabilityThe recent focus of media and governments on renewability, green chemistry, and circular economy has led to a surge in the synthesis of renewable monomers and polymers. In this review, focussing on renewable monomers for reversible deactivation ...
Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), formerly known as living radical polymerization (LRP), is the general name for a family of polymerization techniques. The techniques have in common that the propagating species is a free radical and that an equilibrium exists between active (free...

In addition, the development of reversible- deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP),1 which is also called controlled/living radical polymerization, has opened the door for the precise synthesis of 'uniform' polymers with controlled molecular weights and terminal groups and the precise connection of ...
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT) is another reversible-deactivation radical polymerization technique, similar to ATRP, but with more control over the polymerization, such as a predefined and narrow range of molecular weights. It was discovered in the year 1998 at the...
Closed-loop chemical recycling provides a solution to the end-of-use problem of synthetic polymers. However, it remains a major challenge to design dynamic bonds, capable of effective bonding and reversible cleaving, for preparing chemically recyclable c
Bert Klumperman1 Introduction to reversible deactivationradical polymerization1.1 IntroductionRadical polymerization is among the oldest techniques used for polymer synthesis.It is a typical example of a chain growth reaction in which the active center ata growing chain end is an unpaired electron or radic...
The invention of reversible-deactivation radical polymerisation using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents has revolutionised radical polymerisation. It has allowed the production of polymers with low dispersity, pre-specified size, and complex well-defined architecture [1], [2],...
