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

Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) processes, such as atom transfer
radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) …

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

Background During the last few decades, progress has been made in manipulating the
architecture of synthetic polymer materials. However, the primary structure—that is, the …

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

Unlike natural macromolecules (eg, nucleic acids and proteins) possessing precisely
defined molar mass, chain sequence, chirality, and topology, synthetic polymers are typically …

This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical
polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC (= S) SR) by a …

The necessity of sustainable development in the chemical industry has continuously drawn
attention to find safe, environmentally friendly and atom-economic chemical processes …

Defined-sequence polymers have great potential as durable and high-density data-storage
media. DNA already fulfils this role in nature, using the sequence of its four nucleobases to …

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