Abstract

A review is provided of the recent progress in reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) radical polymerization,where RAFT agent,RAFT polymerization reaction condition,and RAFT polymerized products as well as their microstructure and morphology are highlighted.It is pointed out that RAFT radical polymerization has been adopted as an important method to synthesize polymers with specifically designed molecular structure.
