This talk will focus on recent developments in RAFT polymerization which include new RAFT agents and their application, new methods of transforming RAFT synthesized polymers, and recent studies in understanding the kinetics and mechanism of the RAFT process.  These developments include switchable RAFT agents, aryl trithiocarbonate RAFT agentss, processes for selective single unit monomer insertion and its application to the synthesis of block copolymers containing organic semiconductor segments, and a potential new click process for transforming RAFT end groups (see below, A=B is a dipolarophile)..
