“…It can be triggered by the introduction of a reducing compound, for example, radical initiator in initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) ATRP, [20] chemical reducing agents (e.g., glucose, [21] ascorbic acid, [22] hydrazine [21] ), and metallic silver [23,24] in activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) ATRP, zerovalent metals (Fe 0 , Cu 0 ) [24][25][26] in supplemental activator and reducing agent (SARA) ATRP. Alternatively, an external stimuli such as a reducing current in electrochemically mediated ATRP (eATRP) [27][28][29][30] and simplified electrochemically mediated ATRP (seATRP), [31][32][33] light in photo-induced ATRP (photo-ATRP), [34,35] or mechanical forces in mechanically induced ATRP (mechano-ATRP) [36] and in ultrasonication-induced ATRP (sono-ATRP) can be applied. [37,38] Electrochemistry offers additional opportunity to catalyst recycle, [18,39] eliminates needs for chemical reducing agents, [40] provides temporal control during the process, [27] and extends polymerization to aqueous media.…”
