The development of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has made a great contribution not only to control of molecular weight and terminal structures but also to precise syntheses of copolymers. In particular, introducing a new concept into RDRP allows ‘sequence control’, which might lead to construction of ‘alphabet polymer’ bearing well-defined sequence like peptides in nature. Herein, some methodologies to realize sequence control based on RDRP are reviewed.
