In polymer chemistry, radical polymerization (RP) is a method of polymerization by which a polymer forms by the successive addition of a radical to building blocks (repeat units). …

Radical polymerization is a very common approach to making polymers. There are a number of very reliable methods of carrying out radical polymerization, leading to high molecular weight …

In this review, we discuss radical chemistry in polymer science from four interconnected aspects. We begin with radical polymerization, the most employed technique for industrial production of …

Dec 2, 2022 · What is free radical polymerization? Free radical polymerization is a widely used method for creating polymers from vinyl monomers. free radical polymerization proceeds …

May 26, 2025 · While homogeneous reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) systems struggle with viscosity-driven limitations at high conversions, heterogeneous RDRP …

Radical polymerization is a process that transforms alkenes into polymers through the action of radical initiators, which can be activated by heat or ultraviolet (UV) light.

When radical polymerization is desired, it must be started by using a radical initiator, such as a peroxide or certain azo compounds. The formulas of some common initiators, and equations …

Recent developments have extended living polymerization to radical polymerization, in a process called living radical polymerization (LRP), controlled radical polymerization (CRP), or …

Jan 4, 2024 · In this Article, we report an acid-triggered RAFT polymerization methodology that does not require light or thermal radical initiators.

Radical polymerization is a chain-growth process that involves the repeated addition of monomers to a propagating free radical, leading to the formation of high molecular weight polymers.
