Polymers synthesized via catalyst-transfer polymerization and their applications

Catalyst-transfer polymerization has enabled synthesizing conjugated polymers with unmatched control over both polymer sequence and end-group identity. These attributes provide access to complex materials, including conjugated-conjugated and conjugated-nonconjugated block copolymers, gradient copolymers, nonlinear copolymers, and hybrid materials. This review discusses these materials, highlighting their syntheses as well as their applications.
