1. 活性自由基聚合

2. 当前工业化聚合物合成中，以自由基法生产为
主，约占总聚合反应工业化生产的30%。然而自由
基聚合本身却有很多缺点：产物结构控制较难，易
双基终止，以及链转移等副反应的存在，使产物的
分子量分布较宽，并带有支链结构，无法有效的控
制分子量。
如果自由基聚合可以受到控制，无转移，无终
止，接近活性聚合。那么结合自由基聚合自身的优
点，其科学和实际意思将十分重大。

12. Polymerization of MMA, MA monomers did not show living characteristics mainly reason is that the radicals abstract the α- hydrogen?

13. The polymerization rate significantly enhanced
The polymerization rate significantly enhanced. Presumably the ability to form an intra-molecular H-bond leads to a change in mediating ability. This promoted the investigation of a wide range of other TEMPO-like structures

23. Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization, ATRP
ATRP or Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization is a Polymerization reaction involving free radicals. It was introduced as an extension to ATRA or Atom Transfer Radical Addition by Jinshang Wang and Matyjaszewski, (1995) and Sawamoto (1994/5).

30. First-order Kinetics Behavior
First-order kinetics behavior, i.e. the polymerization rate (Rp) with respect to the monomer concentration ([M]) is a linear function of time. This is due to the lack of termination, so that the concentration of the active propagating species ([P*]) is constant.

31. This semilogarithmic plot is very sensitive to any change of the concentration of the active propagating species. A constant [P*] is revealed by a straight line. An upward curvature indicates an increase in [P*], which occurs in case of slow initiation. On the other hand, a downward curvature suggests a decrease in [P*], which may result from termination reactions increasing the concentration of the persistent radical, or some other side reactions such as the catalytic system being poisoned or redox processes on the radical

46. Choice of RAFTAgents

47. The initial RAFT agents and the polymer RAFT agent
should have a reactive C=S double bond (high kadd).
The intermediate radicals should fragment rapidly
(high kβ, weak S–R bond in intermediate) and give no side
reactions.
The intermediate should partition in favour of products
(kβ ≥k−add).
The expelled radicals (R•) must efficiently re-initiate
polymerization (ki >kp).

48. Four equilibrium constants that need to be considered.
KP (=kaddP/k−addP) associated with the main equilibrium.
K (=kadd/k−add) and Kβ (=k−β/kβ) associated with the
pre-equilibrium.
KR (=kaddR/k−addR) associated with the reaction of the
