Abstract
This review summarizes our and published data on the kinetics and mechanism of controlled radical polymerization of methacrylates mediated by nitroxide radicals. The reasons influencing the possibility or impossibility of the realization of radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the mode of reversible inhibition are analyzed. The main factors determining the specificity of the nitroxide-mediated polymerization of methacrylates are the interaction of nitroxides with growing radicals by the disproportionation mechanism, the Fischer hypereffect, a high rate of reinitiation, and an abnormally low rate of reversible termination.
