Rezension

"It is an excellent book, and I suspect that workers (and students) from many fields will find this a constantly useful reference for many years to come. "(Journal of the American Chemical Society, July 4, 2008) "...very good support for the expert, an excellent tool for the newcomer" (Macromol. Rapid Commun. 04/2008)

Back cover copy

Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) technology is one of the most important new developments in polymer chemistry. The most significant benefit of RAFT polymerization is that it allows the preparation of new polymeric architectures with defined properties. Spanning the entire field from fundamentals to applications in material science, this one-stop source is the first comprehensive reference on this hot topic for polymer, physical and surface chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and those chemists working in industry. Edited by a rising star within the community, this Handbook assembles the latest knowledge about RAFT, ranging from its mechanistic underpinnings to practical applications, providing high value for researchers and research managers seeking up-to-date information about the RAFT process, its scope and limitations. From the contents: * Introduction: Living Free Radical Polymerization and the RAFT Process * Fundamental Structure-Reactivity Correlations Governing the RAFT Process * Mechanism and Kinetics * The RAFT Process as a Kinetic Tool * Theory and Practice in Technical Applications * RAFT Polymerization in Bulk and Organic Solvents, as well as Homogeneous Aqueous Systems * Emulsion and Mini-Emulsion Polymerization * Complex Architecture Design * Macromolecular Design via the Interchange of Xanthates * Surface Modification * Stability and Physical Properties of RAFT Polymers * Novel Materials: From Drug Delivery to Opto-Electronics
