Radical polymerization of monomers with functional groups such as carboxylic acid and
amide moieties yields materials of significant technical importance. The reactions are mostly …

Over decades of carefully designed kinetic experiments and the development of
complementary theory, a more or less complete picture of the mechanisms that govern …

The polymerization mechanism of photochemically mediated Cu-based atom-transfer
radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated using both experimental and kinetic …

A plethora of models have been developed quantifying the effect of diffusion‐controlled
phenomena on polymerization reactions. The most prominent approaches are reviewed …

Few would dispute that the study of the termination reaction has turned out to be the most
difficult aspect of radical polymerization kinetics. However it is an aspect that may not be …

The importance of diffusional limitations in controlled radical polymerization at laboratory
scale and in homogeneous medium is highlighted using different diffusion models. In …

Butyl acrylate (BA) solution polymerization (1.5 M in toluene) was investigated via single-
pulse pulsed laser polymerization in conjunction with electron paramagnetic resonance …

The knowledge of accurate rate coefficients for individual steps of free-radical
polymerization (FRP) is of scientific interest and of application-oriented importance. For a …

The reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer‐chain length dependent termination
(RAFT‐CLD‐T) method has allowed us to answer a number of fundamental questions …

We propose a model for the kinetics of reversible addition− fragmentation chain transfer
(RAFT) polymerization. The essence of this model is that the termination of the radical …
