21. Wang did seminal work on Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization ( ATRP ) during that period of time. 22. All these and further controlled polymerizations are included in the class of reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations . 23. Free radical polymerization is less expensive than other methods, and produces high-molecular weight polymer quickly. 24. Free radical polymerization has uses in research as well, such as in the functionalization of carbon nanotubes. 25. He led and contributed to DuPont s technology for cobalt-catalyzed chain transfer in acrylic radical polymerization . 26. Other synthetic routes include : ring-opening metathesis polymerization ( ROMP ), and controlled radical polymerization . 27. The radicals serve as initiator of radical polymerization , which surrounds the eggs with a protective layer of polymer. 28. Their analysis of the kinetics of thiophene polymerization also seemed to contradict the predictions of the radical polymerization mechanism. 29. Free radical polymerization is a key synthesis route for obtaining a wide variety of different polymers and material composites. 30. RAFT polymerization is known for its compatibility with a wide range of monomers compared to other controlled radical polymerizations .
