Session Description:

 

The symposium will cover recent advances in controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) systems. Topics covered will include nitroxide- and other stable free radical-mediated polymerizations, metal-catalyzed polymerizations including atom transfer radical polymerization, and techniques employing chain transfer, and addition-fragmentation chemistry, including reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The lectures will cover mechanisms, synthesis and characterization of materials with novel molecular architectures, functionalities and composition.

 

With nearly 80 invited speakers confirmed, we encourage submissions for posters that highlight recent research in any area of CRP.
