Expanding the Scope of RAFT Polymerization: Recent Advances and New Horizons
Abstract
Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has revolutionized modern polymer chemistry over the past two decades, thus laying the groundwork for the synthesis of complex macromolecules and enabling the preparation of previously inaccessible materials. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has emerged as one of the most promising techniques because of its functional group tolerance, applicability to a wide range of vinyl monomers, and its nondemanding experimental conditions. However, despite the promise and clearly demonstrated utility of RAFT, limitations of the method sometimes still exist, including the occasional need for extended polymerization times, limited access to high molecular weight polymers, low “livingness” due to unavoidable radical termination events, etc. This Perspective focuses on recent advances that have been specifically designed to address many of these perceived limitations to reinforce the promise of RAFT for the synthesis of complex and well-defined polymers under facile conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
