Controlled/living Radical Polymerization - From Synthesis to Materials

Klappentext This book is addressed to chemists who are interested in radical processes; especially in controlled/living radical polymerization. It focuses on mechanisms of the involved reactions, synthesis of new functional materials and discloses new applications. The book illustrates the most recent accomplishments in the field presented at the ACS Fall 2005 Meeting in Washington, DC. Zusammenfassung The preparation and characterization of new materials with precisely controlled macromolecular dimensions, functionalities, and decomposition, as well as with well-defined topologies, is perhaps the main focus of contemporary polymer synthesis. The best control of molecular functions can be achieved in a controlled/living polymerization — a chain growth process without chain breaking reactions. Recently, controlled/living polymerizations have extended to radicalsystems which are not only commercially important, but also have the largest potential due to the availability of radically polymerizable monomers, facile copolymerization and undemanding experimental conditions. Controlled Radical Polymerization will examine recent advances in mechanistic andsynthetic aspects of controlled/living radical (co)polymerization systems. Not only will this book be focused on recent progress in the dynamically developing field of controlled/living radical polymerization, but it will be a sequel to the very popular ACS Symposium Series 685, 768, and 854. The book will consist of >30 chapters separated into seven subsections: Fundamentals, Mechanism of ATRP, Mechanisms of SFRP and Degenerative Transfer Processes, Controlled Architecture by CRP,Organic-inorganic Hybrids by CRP, Biomaterials by CRP and Industrial Applications. This book targets chemists and polymer scientists in academia and in industry.
