4. Polymer chain reactions

4.1 General characteristics

A polymerization chain reaction is one in which a molecule M is added to an active center carried by the growing macromolecular chain. If we call $— M_{n}^{*}$ an active chain for which DP = n, chain polymerization can be schematized by :

— M_{n}^{*} +
