In this review, we provide a brief history, progress, and applications, and discuss the
remaining challenges of photocontrolled reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer …

Complex chemical systems, such as living biological matter, are highly organized structures
based on discrete molecules in constant dynamic interactions. These natural materials can …

Photomediated controlled radical polymerization is a versatile method to prepare, under
mild conditions, various well-defined polymers with complex architecture, such as block and …

Spatial and temporal regulations of ATRP by external stimuli are presented. Various ATRP
techniques, eATRP, photoATRP, and mechanoATRP, are controlled by electrical current …

During the past decade we have witnessed the rapid development and understanding of
living radical polymerization (LRP)(or reversible deactivation radical polymerizations …

Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

Natural macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, display various complex
functionalities in biological systems. These functionalities depend on the macromolecular …

Translating the precise monomer sequence control achieved in nature over macromolecular
structure (for example, DNA) to whole synthetic systems has been limited due to the lack of …

Over the last ten years, the development of synthetic polymers containing controlled
monomer sequences has become a prominent topic in fundamental and applied polymer …

Here, we exploit the selectivity of photoactivation of thiocarbonylthio compounds to
implement two distinct organic and polymer synthetic methodologies:(1) a single unit …
