Synopsis

This book and the preceding volume are addressed to chemists and polymer scientists interested in radical processes, and especially in controlled/living radical polymerization. The chapters presented in this volume summarize the most recent accomplishments in the field.

The chapters in this volume are focused on control over macromolecular architecture and functionality, as well as on the synthesis of well-defined polymers in heterogeneous systems, and the preparation and applications of hybrid materials and biomaterials. In addition, one chapter is dedicated to polymer characterization.
