Reversible deactivation radical polymerization of polyfunctional monomers

Abstract

In this review, the results of modern theoretical and experimental investigations of three-dimensional reversible-deactivation radical polymerization are discussed. The most important factors affecting the critical gelation conversion, the probability of cyclization, and the topological structures of polymers are underlined. Examples of the most promising application of the reversible deactivation radical polymerization to produce new polymer materials are given.
