[1] Supplied mainly to warships , it saw widespread use in a number of navies during peacetime and both World Wars until superseded by more modern rigid or inflatable designs.
Taking star polymers as an example, RAFT differs from other forms of living radical polymerization techniques in that either the R- or Z-group may form the core of the star (See Figure 10). While utilizing the R-group as the core results in similar structures found using ATRP or NMP, the ability to use the Z-group as the core makes RAFT unique.
