The industrial demand for novel synthetic materials with specific properties is constantly growing. From an academic point of view, this has resulted in tremendous effort being put into the research and development of new methods of polymerization that yield polymers with tailored structures and the desired properties. Preparation of polymers with controlled architectures can be achieved by making use of controlled polymerization techniques such as ionic polymerization, nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and lately, (RAFT) reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Of all these methods, RAFT polymerization is often reported as being the most versatile, as it is fairly tolerant to impurities and can be used with a wide range of monomers.
