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

Over the past decade, the use of photocatalysts (PCs) in controlled polymerization has
brought new opportunities in sophisticated macromolecular synthesis. However, the …

Retrieving the starting monomers from polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation
radical polymerization has recently emerged as an efficient way to increase the recyclability …

In the past decade, photochemistry has emerged as a growing area in organic and polymer
chemistry. Use of light to drive polymerization has advantages by imparting spatial and …

We describe the synthesis of ultrahigh molecular weight water-soluble polymers via
photoiniferter polymerization under inverse miniemulsion conditions. The catalyst-free …

Photo-iniferter (PI)–RAFT polymerization, the direct activation of chain transfer agents via
light, is a fascinating polymerization technique, as it overcomes some restriction of …

We report on a fundamental feature of photoiniferter polymerizations mediated with
trithiocarbonates and xanthates. The polymerizations were found to be highly dependent on …

Xanthate-supported photo-iniferter (XPI)-reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer
(RAFT) polymerization is introduced as a fast and versatile photo-polymerization strategy …

As the richest aromatic renewable resource, lignin has attracted significant attention for
fabricating various materials. However, due to lignin's structural complexity, an effective and …

Owing to current global environmental concerns, polymers must be prepared under eco-
friendly reaction conditions based on sustainable chemistry. In this context, highly efficient …
