GTP is a highly scalable living anionic polymerization process that produces controlled architecture polymers with narrow molar mass distributions comparable to those generated by other anionic polymerization methods, or by controlled/living radical polymerizations such as ATRP [atom transfer radical polymerization] and RAFT [reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer]. However, compared to other polymerization methods, it is an industrially developed technique that offers key advantages in terms of ease of production, cost and potential for scalability . GTP can be performed in large batches, at room temperature, and at higher concentrations, in a remarkably rapid (~ 15 mins for the polymers in the present study) one-step process without intermediate purification steps.
