“…Multiblock copolymer synthesis via RDRP has become a prominent research topic since it was realized in 2011 for Cu(0)-mediated radical polymerization, and shortly thereafter for reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, that multiple consecutive polymer blocks can be grown for high conversion without intermittent purification under carefully considered conditions that guarantee high livingness (chain-end fidelity). In recent years, RDRP has been exploited for the synthesis of multiblock copolymers of increasing intricacy. ,,,− RAFT polymerization, in particular, has proven itself highly viable for multiblock copolymer synthesis because of its good monomer compatibility, robustness to various polymerization techniques and conditions, superior performance in dispersed systems, and the large assemblage of accumulated interest and literature availablity. − The synthesis of multiblock copolymers is characterized by the controlled polymerization of constituent monomers, with final material properties tailored via the block composition, length and sequence; such methodologies, however, lend themselves to certain complications. The issues with reduced chain-end fidelity, monomer compatibility, and long reaction times, while maintaining acceptable molecular weight distributions (MWDs), are obstacles that become even more pertinent as the block length and the number of involved monomer species increase.…”
