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.
Krzysztof Matyjaszewski is the J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. He has co-authored 880 publications, co-edited 17 books, and holds 51 U.S. patents as well as132 international patents. Matyjaszewski received the 2013 Inaugural AkzoNobel North America Science Award, the 2011 Wolf Prize in Chemistry, and the 2009 Presidential Green Chemistry Award in addition to seven honorary degrees. Brent Sumerlin is an associate professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Florida. He has been named a Kavli Fellow, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, and a Gerald J. Ford Research Fellow. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Nicolay V. Tsarevsky is an assistant professor of chemistry at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. He has published 78 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, co-authored one textbook and co-edited three books, and is the co-inventor on several patents. John Chiefari is a research leader in CSIRO's Manufacturing Flagship. He is a co-inventor and co-developer of the RAFT process, which has been commercialized with products in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Japan. He is currently managing CSIRO's research activities to extend the utility of the RAFT process and to explore new application areas in the biomedical, agricultural, personal care, and industrial chemical fields.
