Explore this one-stop resource for reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization from a leading voice in chemistry

RAFT Polymerization: Methods, Synthesis and Applications deliversa comprehensive and insightful analysis of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and its applications to fields as diverse as material science, industrial chemistry, and medicine. This one-stop resource offers readers a detailed synopsis of the current state of RAFT polymerization.

This text will inspire further research and continue the drive to an ever-increasing range of applications by synthesizing and explaining the more central existing literature on RAFT polymerization. It contains a beginner's guide on how to do a RAFT polymerization before moving ontomuch more advanced techniques and concepts, like the kinetics and mechanisms of the RAFT process. The distinguished editors have also included resources covering the four major classes of RAFT agents and recent developments in processes for initiating RAFT polymerization. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

• A thorough introduction to the mechanisms, theory, and mathematical modeling of RAFT
• Explorations of RAFT agent design and synthesis, dithioesters, dithiobenzoates, trithiocarbonates, xanthates, dithiocarbamates, macromonomer RAFT, and RAFT copolymerization
• Discussions of a variety of RAFT architectures, includingmultiblocks, combs, hyperbranched polymers, and stars
• Treatments of end group transformation, cationic RAFT, high-throughput RAFT, and RAFT in continuous flow
• An examination of sequence defined polymers by RAFT

Perfect for organic chemists, polymer chemists, and materials scientists, RAFT Polymerization: Methods, Synthesis and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of chemical engineers seeking a one-stop reference for this method of controlled radical polymerization with a wide range of applications in multiple areas.
