A versatile strategy for the fabrication of block copolymers by the combination of two discrete living polymerization techniques-reversible complexation mediated living radical polymerization (RCMP) and photoinduced radical oxidation addition deactivation (PROAD) processes-is reported. First, RCMP i...
