This often occurs at the end of a radical polymerization when almost all monomer has been consumed.
During living free radical polymerization, termination pathways for a growing polymer chain are removed.
It is formed by a radical polymerization, using an organic peroxide as the initiator.
About half of all commercial polymers are produced by radical polymerization.
This is where controlled (or living) radical polymerization comes into play.
However, the technique was irreversible, so the transfer reagents could not be used to control radical polymerization at this time.
As a result many plastics, enamels, and other polymers are formed through radical polymerization.
It is a type of controlled/"living" radical polymerization.
Synthesis of these materials is currently possible only by the use of free radical polymerization.
The first glycopolymer was synthesized in 1978 via free radical polymerization.
