In biochemistry this chemical reaction sequence is known as Electron Chain Transfer.
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is known to be a useful technique for the preparation of well-defined polymer structure by controlling the molecular weight, the molecular weight distribution, and the tailored architecture (18-20).
In addition to chemical crosslinking, chain transfer to polymer can also introduce high gel content.
