Fundamentals Of Controlled Living Radical Polymerization

Provides an in-depth history, description, and mechanistic understanding of each of the controlled/living radical polymerization techniques and practical details necessary to carry out the reactions.

Controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) has revolutionized and revitalized the field of synthetic polymer chemistry over the last twenty years as it is now possible to prepare a wide variety of previously inaccessible macromolecules under relatively mild conditions. Fundamentals of Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization provides an in-depth coverage of the essential chemical principles that enable and govern each of the CRP methods. The book starts with a brief historical overview of the major findings in polymer science which eventually led to the development of living ionic and living radical systems. It then goes on to introduce the main CRP techniques including their mechanistic understanding. The book also provides the information needed to select the appropriate reagents and conditions to conduct various CRP methods in a practical setting. Therefore, in addition to a newcomer gaining an appreciation for what has already been accomplished, the reader will be armed with the tools needed to begin independent research. Fundamentals of Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization provides essential insight into a rapidly growing field that goes beyond a simple literature review of the area. Written by leading experts in the field, the book is an indispensible resource for all researchers, instructors, and students in polymer chemistry.

Recent work in polymer chemistry has allowed scientists to control the polymerization reaction and produce increasingly well-defined polymers. This volume examines current work in the field and describes the synthesis of new materials. It includes discussions of nitroxide-mediated and metal-mediated radical polymerizations. It also includes an overview of the fundamentals of radical chemistry, making it accessible to a wide range of chemists and materials scientists.

Klassische und moderne Verfahren der radikalischen Polymerisation: In diesem handlichen Band finden Sie Antworten auf theoretische und praktische Fragen. Neben grundlegenden Ausführungen zur Einteilung radikalischer Polymere sind Angaben über die wichtigsten experimentellen Verfahren zur Synthese, Reinigung und Charakterisierung von Polymeren enthalten. Interessante Zugabe: ein Abriß der Geschichte der Radikalkettenpolymerisation.

Over the last twenty years, the field of the chemistry of polymerization witnessed enormous growth through the development of new concepts, catalysts, processes etc. Examples are: non classical living polymerizations (group transfer polymerization, living carbocationic polymerization, living radical polymerization and living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP)); new catalysts (metallocenes and late transition metal catalysts for stereospecific polymerization, Schrock and Grubbs catalyst for ROMP among others) and new processes such as miniemulsion, microemulsion polymerization and dispersion polymerization (in polar solvents). Apart from the developments in the chemistry of polymerization, methods have been developed for the evaluation of highly reliable rate constants of propagation in radical as well as cationic polymerization. All these have revolutionized the field of synthetic polymer chemistry. In the book, fundamentals of both the new and old polymerization chemistry have been dealt with. The new chemistry has been given nearly equal space along with the old.

This book gives a good understanding of the progress being made in controlled radical polymerization process. The basic principle of controlled/living radical polymerization is fundamental to the creation of new radical polymerization techniques including atom transfer radical, and reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization. These discoveries bring new life to the field of free radical polymerization; indeed, an abundance of polymer materials with different topologies have been prepared. I hope that this Special Topic on "Functional Controlled/Living Radical Polymers: Synthesis, Kinetics and Physico-chemical Properties" will cultivate new ideas and catalyze discoveries in every reader's laboratory. This book is aimed to provide information related to the newest controlled radical polymerization methodology, ATRP and RAFT, their required components and their advantages and necessities. I demonstrates that how simple molecule selectively arrange as different topology like linear, star, multi arm polymers containing functional groups for various applications.

* Provides a concise source of information on synthetic techniques, purification, and characterization methods for free-radical polymers. * Presents information on future trends in the synthesis of free-radical polymers.

The proposed book focusses on metal mediated/catalyzed “controlled/living radical polymerization” (CRP/LRP) methods. It surveys a wide variety of catalyzed polymerization reactions, making it essentially a “one stop” review in the field. A significant contribution to polymer science is “metathesis polymerization” discovered by Grubbs and others. The book will cover various metathesis polymerization methods and implications in polymer industry.
