Abstract
The power of chemical light generation (chemiluminescence) is used to drive polymerization reactions. A biphasic reaction is developed such that light-generating reactions are confined to the organic phase and photopolymerization occurs in the aqueous phase. Well-defined RAFT-capped polymers are synthesized and the kinetics are shown to be dictated by light generation.
