The renaissance and evolving design of radical polymerization

Abstract

During the 49th World Polymer Congress held 17–21 July 2022 in Winnipeg, Canada, Graeme Moad presented the Stepto Lecture Award [1], describing the mechanism and terminological evolution of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) [2, 3, 4], including more recent intricate designs through the use of light and electrical propulsion.
