Abstract
The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization is one of the most important techniques to control the molecular weight and the chain distribution of the polymers made via radical chemistry. Its application to the aqueous dispersed systems is an important step to improve the control of relevant polymers due to the advantages in the control of the reaction and to avoid the environmental issues related to the use of organic solvents. In this review, a brief overview on different techniques used to perform a well-controlled RAFT polymerization in aqueous dispersed systems is critically revised.
Keywords: CRP, RAFT emulsion polymerization, nanoparticles, dispersed systems, capping agent, alive chains.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
