Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate

This article summarized controlled/living radical polymerization (LRP/CRP) of vinyl acetate (VAc). The four LRP/CRP methods, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP), reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT), degenerative transfer polymerization (DT), were described and briefly compared in the LRP/CRP of VAc.
