Abstract:This paper highlights the powerful combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization and various click/coupling chemistries. This is not an exhaustive review but rather an overview demonstrating the impressive possibilities that the "marriage" of these two synthetic approaches offers in modern macromolecular design and synthesis.
“…Chernikova et al [118] used an EPR spin trapping method to measure addition and fragmentation rate constants for the reaction between a t-butyl radical and t-butyl dithiobenzoate (38). Their data analysis indicates a high value for K of ,10 8 M À1 (208C).…”

This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC(¼S)SR) by a mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer ( Chem. 2009Chem. , 62, 1402. This review cites over 700 publications that appeared during the period mid 2009 to early 2012 covering various aspects of RAFT polymerization which include reagent synthesis and properties, kinetics and mechanism of polymerization, novel polymer syntheses, and a diverse range of applications. This period has witnessed further significant developments, particularly in the areas of novel RAFT agents, techniques for end-group transformation, the production of micro/nanoparticles and modified surfaces, and biopolymer conjugates both for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Section: Recent (2011-2014) Applications Of Raft Polymerization At Csiromentioning
RAFT Polymerization is currently one of the most versatile and most used methods for implementing reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) otherwise known as controlled or living radical polymerization. This paper will briefly trace the historical development of RAFT with reference to the kinetics and mechanism of the process. It will also highlight the most recent developments in our laboratories at CSIRO during the period 2011-2014 specifically covering such areas as kinetics and mechanism, RAFT agent development, end-group transformation, RAFT crosslinking polymerization, monomer sequence control and multi-block copolymer synthesis, and high throughput RAFT polymerization.
“…It could be applied for the grafting of RAFT agents onto polymer surfaces through a plasma activation. Grafting RAFT agents onto a surface gives the opportunity to polymerize a wide range of monomers when choosing the adapted transfer agent, giving finally brushes at the surface [9]. In the case of RAFT polymerization, the choice of the RAFT agent for a given monomer is of peculiar importance for the success of the controlled radical polymerization.…”
