Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Polymer

His primary areas of study are Chain transfer, Radical polymerization, Polymer chemistry, Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization and Polymerization. His Chain transfer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Living free-radical polymerization and Poly. The concepts of his Radical polymerization study are interwoven with issues in Dispersity, End-group and Raft.

His Polymer chemistry research integrates issues from Copolymer, Methyl methacrylate, Solution polymerization, Monomer and Bulk polymerization. His Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization research incorporates themes from Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization and Gradient copolymers. His work focuses on many connections between Polymerization and other disciplines, such as Photochemistry, that overlap with his field of interest in Radical.

His most cited work include:

  • Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process (3650 citations)
  • Living radical polymerization by the RAFT process (1717 citations)
  • Living Radical Polymerization by the RAFT Process - A Second Update (1310 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ezio Rizzardo mainly focuses on Polymer chemistry, Radical polymerization, Chain transfer, Polymerization and Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization. The study incorporates disciplines such as Copolymer, Methyl methacrylate, Polymer, Raft and Radical in addition to Polymer chemistry. His Raft study combines topics in areas such as Nanotechnology and Dispersity.

His study in Radical polymerization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Photochemistry and Solution polymerization. Ezio Rizzardo studied Chain transfer and Living polymerization that intersect with Kinetic chain length. Ezio Rizzardo regularly ties together related areas like Gradient copolymers in his Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization studies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Polymer chemistry (69.12%)
  • Radical polymerization (46.57%)
  • Chain transfer (39.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Polymer chemistry (69.12%)
  • Raft (22.55%)
  • Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (26.47%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Polymer chemistry, Raft, Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, Polymerization and Copolymer. Ezio Rizzardo interconnects Tributylphosphine and Nanocarriers in the investigation of issues within Polymer chemistry. His Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Moiety, Reducing agent, Chain transfer and Organic semiconductor.

His Chain transfer study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Living free-radical polymerization. His study looks at the relationship between Polymerization and fields such as Nanotechnology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Radical polymerization is a subfield of Polymer that Ezio Rizzardo studies.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • RAFT Agent Design and Synthesis (310 citations)
  • End‐functional polymers, thiocarbonylthio group removal/transformation and reversible addition–fragmentation–chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization (206 citations)
  • Functional polymers for optoelectronic applications by RAFT polymerization (118 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Polymer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Polymerization, Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, Chain transfer, Polymer chemistry and Radical polymerization. His Polymerization study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Solubility. His Chain transfer research includes themes of Optoelectronics and Dispersity.

His Polymer chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Polymer architecture, Nanocarriers and Raft. Polymer covers Ezio Rizzardo research in Radical polymerization. His study in Living free-radical polymerization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vinyl acetate and Cobalt-mediated radical polymerization.
