ABSTRACT Utilizations of alkylboranes reagents in radical polymerization are summarized in this minireview. Alkylboranes act as conventional radical initiators or radical chain‐transfer agents in free‐radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization. This review discusses various polymerizations operating through different alkylborane reagents with their accompanying mechanisms. The aim of this minireview is to present the state of art of alkylboranes in radical polymerization and to provide the future aspects of this direction. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
