Novel and diversified macromolecular structures , which include polymers with designed topologies (top), compostions (middle), and functionalities (bottom), can be prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization processes. These polymers can be synthesized from a large variety of monomers that can undergo radical polymerization under undemanding conditions in the presence of the redox active transition metal complex as a catalyst and alkyl(pseudo)halides as initiators.
