Various versatile chain transfer agents (CTAs) have been synthesized for reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerzation. Such CTAs have been used to modify hydroxyl containing materials and produce well‐controlled molecular architectures such as amphiphilic copolymer from poly (ethylene glycol), AB block copolymer consisting of a biodegradable segment, poly ( l ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) and grafted copolymers of poly (styrene), poly (methyl methacrylate) and poly (methyl acrylate) from cellulose.
