Thermodynamic activation-deactivation cycles of the so-called nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerizations had been built up to control molecular weight distributions of architected polymer. The nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMP)

including fundamental controlled theory

initiator/mediator system

experiment methods and reaction conditions

it would be further developed by appearance of SG1from reaction kinetics to polymerization systems. In this paper

we review the recent achievements of NMP at the presence of SG1and its derivates in these systems such as bulk

solution

emulsion

miniemulsion and dispersion polymerization

as well as the development of reaction kinetics of SG

as a mediator applied in controlled radical polymerization (CRP) in order to prepare functional polymer or block copolymer materials.
