Recently

as a new polymerized method

the method of single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) was widely used in the field of polymerization and modification. In this paper

compared with other methods of living radical polymerization

the obvious advantages and disadvantages of SET-LRP were analyzed. And the use of SET- LRP technology in preparation of block copolymer

star and branched polymers

cyclic polymers were reported. Finally

the SET-LRP technology were applied in surface modification of solid materials

such as the polymerization on the surface of inorganic material

and the organic molecules grafting on the surface of polymer latex etc.
