Developments in radical polymerization

Developments in the field of radical polymerization including co‐ and graft polymerization are evaluated from a personal viewpoint. A number of important advances have been made in the last few years which present the opportunity of opening new ways for further scientific and technological progress. Also included in this critical evaluation of developments in co‐ and graft polymerization primarily by radical initiators is work that is peripheral to the subject but constitutes possible important new directions of development.
