title: Li(+) Catalysis and Other New Methodologies for the Radical Polymerization of Less Activated Olefins.
abstract: After a brief survey of conventional radical polymerization of alkenes, we review their Li(+) catalyzed radical polymerization and their controlled radical polymerization. Emphasis is on homopolymerization, but related copolymerization of less activated monomers is mentioned as well.
