One‐Pot Synthesis of Block Copolymers by a Combination of Living Cationic and Controlled Radical Polymerization

Front Cover: The in-situ switch between different controlled/living polymerization methods remains a challenging but powerful tool to expand the wealth of well-defined functional block copolymers. In article number 1800398, Ulrich S. Schubert and co-workers present an approach that bridges the gap between cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-oxazolines and the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer process for the controlled synthesis of vinyl monomers in a straightforward manner and without the need for tedious purification steps.
