Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present recent advances in the technology of surfmers [polymerizable
surfactants – in Part I**)], inisurfs (surface-active initiators) and transurfs (surface-active transfer agents).
In this part, inisurfs and transurfs are described and discussed. Due to the development of controlled
living polymerization, inisurfs and transurfs are becoming more and more significant. Inisurfs are used
for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) process and transurfs can be applied for reversible ad-
dition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process. Preparation of nanospheres using a transurfs has
also been reported.
Keywords: inisurf, surface-active initiator, atom transfer radical polymerization, transurf, surface-ac-
tive transfer agent, reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer, emulsion polymerization, living
polymerization.
