This review presents a short overview of recent developments in metal-catalyzed living radical polymerization, mainly focusing on our recent research studies related to the subject. Metal-catalyzed living radical polymerization or atom transfer radical polymerization, which was originally developed via evolution of the metal-catalyzed Kharasch or atom transfer radical addition to chain-growth p...

Reversible Addition–Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization has emerged as one of the most versatile reversible deactivation radical polymerization techniques and is capable of polymerizing a wide range of monomers under various conditions. One of the most important factors governing the success of a RAFT polymerization is the fraction of living chains at the end of the reaction, whi...

Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has opened a new path for the development of novel products like olefin block copolymers and chain-end functional polyolefins. However, conflicting results are frequently reported on the catalyst performance including activity and comonomer selectivity under CCTP conditions. Here we have selected two catalysts including rac-ethylenebis(1-η5-inde...

The synthesis of fluorinated dual-responsive block terpolymers via sequential reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is presented.

In this work, we combine reversible addition fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT) with cobalt catalytic chain transfer (CCT) to obtain omega-unsaturated polymers with relatively low polydispersity values.
