Rapid living free‐radical polymerization of methyl acrylate under 60 Co γ‐ray irradiation in the presence of benzyl 1 H ‐imidazole‐1‐carbodithioate at room temperature is reported. The results showed that the polymerization is a fast living process, and that the molecular weight of the polymer is as high as 39 600 g mol −1 at 68 % conversion with M w / M n = 1.09 within 68 min. The polymerization rate was markedly influenced by the structures of thiocarbonylthio compounds. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
