Herein, we report a strategy for the synthesis, deconstruction, and reconstruction of recyclable graft polymer through the combination of grafting\u2010through reversible addition\u2010fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) step\u2010growth polymerization and RAFT interchange. Polystyrene macromonomers bearing symmetrical trithiocarbonate (TTC) units were first synthesized via RAFT polymerization and subsequently polymerized with bismaleimide in an A\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    + B\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2010type RAFT step\u2010growth polymerization to yield graft polymer containing a TTC unit in every repeat unit of the backbone. The uniform incorporation of TTC linkages enables efficient main\u2010chain deconstruction under mild conditions, producing well\u2010defined macromonomers with narrow molecular weight distributions. Importantly, the deconstructed products can be efficiently reconstructed into graft polymers via RAFT step\u2010growth polymerization, enabling deconstruction\u2013reconstruction cycles with high yields. This work establishes a simple and effective platform for the circular recycling of graft polymers while preserving precise architectural control, offering new opportunities for sustainable design of advanced macromolecular materials.\n
