Abstract: = 461 and 635 nm, respectively). This process controls a wide range of functional and non-functional monomers, and offers excellent control over molecular weights and polydispersities. The end group fidelity was demonstrated by NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and successful chain extensions for the preparation of diblock copolymers.
