Organic Radicals summarizes the applications of these materials in several fields, in addition to analyzing challenges, limitations and impacts of materials containing organic radicals on human, plants, water, soil, and animals. Sections cover uses of organic radicals as effective precursors for block molecules building and discuss their effectiveness as precursors of organic radical- containing materials synthesis and their applications in medicine, biology, electronics, environmental sciences, plastics synthesis, polymers building and the several impacts after organic radicals uses. In recent years, the rapid development of organic radical-containing materials has afforded an interesting research area in various applications.
