  • a control radical process has characteristics of a living polymerization system in that it is capable of controlling the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution of the resultant polymer.
  • Free radical polymerization is the most widespread method of polymerization of vinylic monomers. Free radical polymerizations are chain reactions in which every polymer chain grows by addition of a monomer to the terminal free radical reactive site called "active center". The addition of the monomer to this site induces the transfer of the active center to the newly created chain end. Free radical polymerization is charactherized by many attractive features, such as applicability for a wide range of polymerizable groups, as well as tolerance to many solvents, small amount of impurities and many functional groups present in the monomers. However, classical free radical polymerization has some limitations, inherent to its mechanism.
