| Résumé : |
Controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP), namely RAFT/MADIX, NMP, ATRP, and reverse ATRP, are among the most rapidly developing areas of chemistry and polymer science. However such extraordinary scientific development of CRP contrasts with the very limited number of commercially available products derived from these technologies. The present review tries to connect the basics of CRP as a tool to develop commercial products and also its commercial status. The overview of patent literature, conference proceedings, research papers and technical data sheets of commercial products. The advantages and disadvantages are given for the different CRP techniques, the CRP processes face many of hurdles (depending on the type of CRP), that must be overcome and reduce the time to market for polymer products compared to mature existing technologies. In spite of its slow development, CRP is seen as a revolutionary method to produce precisely controlled, next generation specialty polymer additives and materials. |
