A difference of six orders of magnitude: A reply to “the magnitude of the fragmentation rate coefficient”

Abstract

Abstract There has been an ongoing debate regarding the mechanism that causes rate retardation phenomena observed in some reversible addition‐fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization systems. Some attribute the retardation to slow fragmentation of adduct radicals, others attribute it to fast fragmentation coupled with cross‐termination between propagating and adduct radicals. There exists a difference of six orders of magnitude (10 −2 …
