Abstract
Recently, photoinduced electron/energy transfer reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (PET‐RAFT) polymerization has been developed and gaining wide acceptance. PET‐RAFT polymerization uses visible light to initiate the reaction and is compatible with ambient conditions and green solvents. It also maintains the ability to produce well‐defined polymers and possesses high potential as an alternative to the conventional RAFT technique. This review aims to summarize the fundamentals of PET‐RAFT polymerization, highlight two of the most commonly studied applications of PET‐RAFT process (i.e. flow chemistry and surface‐initiated polymerization), and explore perspectives and new possibilities of the technique. © 2022 Society of Industrial Chemistry.Keywords
