Radical Polymerization

This volume from the successful Macromolecular Symposia series presents the contributions from the IUPAC-sponsored International Symposium on «Radical Polymerization: Kinetics and Mechanism», held in Il Ciocco, Italy, in September, 2006. This was the fourth within the series of so-called SML conferences, which are the major scientific forum for addressing kinetic and mechanistic aspects of free-radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization. SML IV again marked an important step forward toward the better understanding of the kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization, which is extremely relevant for both conventional and controlled radical polymerizati…
