This Review describes the application of nitroxides to synthesis and polymer chemistry. The
synthesis and physical properties of nitroxides are discussed first. The largest section …

Telechelic polymers, defined as macromolecules that contain two reactive end groups, are
used as cross-linkers, chain extenders, and important building blocks for various …

The combination of controlled polymerization techniques and “click” reactions form an
efficient platform for the preparation of polymers in various architectures. In this critical …

This year, it has been a decade that the concept of “click” chemistry was pioneered in
polymer and material science by the exploration of the synthetic scope of copper-catalyzed …

The organic nitroxyl radical, TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), finds a variety
