The background to the formation of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) polymer group is discussed. In particular, the challenges of working with high‐conversion polymerization, as found in commercial systems, and the need to explain variations in polymer properties led to important advances in the theory of radical polymerization and control over both the initiation and termination steps. Studies on the fate of the macromonomer, formed in termination by disproportionation, led to an early form of addition/fragmentation now known as reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer, whereas detailed studies on initiation pathways using nitroxide trapping led to nitroxide‐mediated living radical polymerization. These studies contributed to the renaissance in free‐radical polymerization studies. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 43: 5748–5764, 2005

The present article summarizes the fundamental principles and recent advances in free radical polymerization systems. Each individual reaction step in the polymerization process—initiation, propagation, transfer, and termination—is discussed in detail with regard to the underlying first principles and to the latest rate coefficient data. Novel methodologies, including living free radical polymerization, are also introduced within this context. In addition, the article gives an up‐to‐date overview of current state‐of‐the‐art experimental techniques for obtaining reliable kinetic and mechanistic information, embedded in an extensive coverage of the rates of radical polymerization, thermodynamics, and the chain‐length distribution. Such techniques range from now quasi‐classic experiments, such as pulsed laser polymerization, size exclusion chromatography, and the chain‐length distribution method for transfer constant determination, to cutting edge methodologies, such as the use of living free radical processes for chain‐length‐dependent rate coefficient determination. The fundamental differential equations governing free‐radical polymerization and the chemistry involved are both extensively covered along with ample tabular material, giving the practicing polymer chemist up‐to‐date and easily accessible data material backed up by over 500 references.
