Kinetic features of pseudoliving radical polymerization under conditions of reversible inhibition by nitroxide radicals

Abstract

This review is devoted to two topical aspects of the kinetics of pseudoliving radical polymerization occurring under conditions of reversible inhibition by nitroxide radicals. The main kinetic features of polymerization, which are still being discussed in the literature, are considered. The data on the rate constants of reinitiation and reversible-termination reactions in polymerization systems are generalized and discussed for the first time.
