title: Combining RAFT radical polymerization and click/highly efficient coupling chemistries: a powerful strategy for the preparation of novel materials.
abstract: This paper highlights the powerful combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization and various click/coupling chemistries. This is not an exhaustive review but rather an overview demonstrating the impressive possibilities that the "marriage" of these two synthetic approaches offers in modern macromolecular design and synthesis.
