RAFT Polymerization Overview

*At 3:44 there should be a should be a single electron on the central carbon of the intermediate radical species.

In this video I give a basic overview of the importance and mechanism of RAFT polymerization. I did my best to be brief and explain things clearly. If you have any questions or suggestions please comment below. Thanks!
