= Chain shuttling polymerization
{wiki=Chain_shuttling_polymerization}
Chain shuttling polymerization is a process that combines features of both chain-growth and step-growth polymerization mechanisms. This technique allows for the production of polymers with complex architectures and a higher degree of control over molecular weight and distribution compared to traditional polymerization methods. In chain shuttling polymerization, a "shuttling" reagent participates in the polymerization process by cyclically interacting with growing polymer chains.
