Telechelic radical techniques

Boutevin, B., David, G. and Boyer, C. Telechelic Oligomers and Macromonomers by Radical Techniques. Vol. 206, pp. 31-135... 

The scope of this review is to consider all the radical techniques leading to a telechelic or a macromonomer structure. To this aim, it will be necessary to illustrate each method with some examples. We also emphasize that the number of studies in this area is numerous and some will be not considered. Indeed, this paper is not an index of publications on the synthesis of telechelic oligomers and macromonomers but more a comprehensive paper on how to achieve such structures by a radical process. Thus, this paper is divided in two distinct parts synthesis of telechelic oligomers in the first part and synthesis of macromonomers in the second part. In the second part, we will also outline the new design of macromonomers. 

In the review paper of Boutevin [2], the different conventional radical polymerizations, such as telomerization or DEP, were mentioned to lead to a telechelic structure. Since 1990 these radical techniques have shown some progress in the synthesis of telechelic oligomers. We can remark that recent investigations into the understanding of the kinetics of the DEP of...
