Review on Polymer Brush Synthesis Via Controlled Radical Polymerization Technique.

In this review, we discussed mainly on fabrication of polymer brushes by using controlled radical polymerization technique. Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques provide enormous possibilities for synthesizing well-defined polymers with controlled architectures and molar masses, high graft density with well-distributed polymeric brushes. In fact, we also discussed the atom transfer radical (ATRP) and Reversible fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization. Also, we had discussed the general characterization techniques of polymer brushes. Review could be more useful for researchers in general to understand the polymer brush preparation and its characterization.
