Controlled/living radical polymerization (CRP) has revolutionized and revitalized the field of synthetic polymer chemistry over the last twenty years as it is now possible to prepare a wide variety of previously inaccessible macromolecules under relatively mild conditions. Fundamentals of Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization provides an in-depth coverage of the essential chemical principles that enable and govern each of the CRP methods. The book starts with a brief historical overview of the major findings in polymer science which eventually led to the development of living ionic and living radical systems. It then goes on to introduce the main CRP techniques including their mechanistic understanding. The book also provides the information needed to select the appropriate reagents and conditions to conduct various CRP methods in a practical setting. Therefore, in addition to a newcomer gaining an appreciation for what has already been accomplished, the reader will be armed with the tools needed to begin independent research. Fundamentals of Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization provides essential insight into a rapidly growing field that goes beyond a simple literature review of the area. Written by leading experts in the field, the book is an indispensible resource for all researchers, instructors, and students in polymer chemistry.

Tsarevsky, Nicolay V
Nick Tsarevsky obtained M.S. degree in theoretical chemistry and chemical physics in 1999 from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, and Ph.D. degree in chemistry in 2005 from Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Prof. Kris Matyjaszewski. He was Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University (2005-6), and a member of the founding team of ATRP Solutions, Inc., of which he served as Chief Science Officer (2007-2010). He joined the Department of Chemistry at Southern Methodist University in the summer of 2010 as an assistant professor, and in 2016 he was promoted to associate professor with tenure. He has authored and coauthored over 90 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, 1 textbook, and has served as the co-editor of 5 books. Research interests include polymerization techniques, functional materials, coordination chemistry and catalysis, and the chemistry hypervalent compounds, in addition to history of chemistry and chemical education.

Nicolay V. Tsarevsky is Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at Southern Methodist University, USA. He received his M.S. (1999) in Theoretical Chemistry and Chemical physics from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University (2005) where he worked on the synthesis of functional polymers by ATRP (Advisor: Professor Kris Matyjaszewski). His research interests include the controlled polymerization and synthesis of polymers with well-defined molecular architecture and functionality, nanostructured materials for biomedical or optoelectronic applications, transition metal catalyzed polymerizations and the development of "green" synthetic methodologies. He has authored and co-authored more than 45 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 7 book chapters, 1 textbook and several patents. Brent S. Sumerlin gained a B.S. in Textile Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry Concentration (1998) from the North Carolina State University and a Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering (2003) from the University of Southern Mississippi (Advisor: Charles L. McCormick). He moved to Carnegie Mellon University until 2005, when he moved to the Southern Methodist University. Since 2009 he is Harold Jeskey Trustee Associate Professor in Chemistry. He was awarded an Alfred P Sloan Research Fellow, SMU Ford Research Fellow and named an "Emerging Investigator" by two Royal Society of Chemistry journals. He is an Editorial Board Member for Polymer Chemistry and on the Editorial Advisory Board of a number of key journals. He has published nearly 90 papers in peer reviewed publications and 7 patents.
