Advances in Controlled/ Living Radical Polymerization 

Presents new developments in controlled/living radical polymerization in three areas: atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP), and reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT). This book also includes synthesis and characterization of many new materials.
