2. Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_addition%E2%88...

   This is important because initiator decomposes continuously during the polymerization, not just at the start, and polymer chains arising from initiator decomposition cannot, therefore, have a narrow length distribution. These mechanistic features lead to an average chain length that increases linearly with the conversion of monomer into polymer ...

3. Carothers equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carothers_equation

   The simplest case refers to the formation of a strictly linear polymer by the reaction (usually by condensation) of two monomers in equimolar quantities. An example is the synthesis of nylon-6,6 whose formula is [−NH−(CH 2) 6 −NH−CO−(CH 2) 4 −CO−] n from one mole of hexamethylenediamine, H 2 N(CH 2) 6 NH 2, and one mole of adipic acid, HOOC−(CH 2) 4 −COOH.

4. Radical polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_polymerization

   Free radical polymerization used in this context allows the synthesis of polymers from a wide variety of substrates (the chemistries of suitable clays vary). Termination reactions unique to chain growth polymerization produce a material with flexibility, mechanical strength and biocompatibility.

5. Living polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_polymerization

   Living polymerization: A chain polymerization from which chain transfer and chain termination are absent.. Note: In many cases, the rate of chain initiation is fast compared with the rate of chain propagation, so that the number of kinetic-chain carriers is essentially constant throughout the polymerization.

6. Bulk polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_polymerization

   The problem of heat transfer is compounded by the highly exothermic nature of free radical addition polymerization. The polymerization is obtained with a broad molecular weight distribution due to the high viscosity and lack of good heat transfer. very high molecular weights are obtained. Gel effect.

7. Solution polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_polymerization

   The reaction results in a polymer which is also soluble in the chosen solvent. Heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the solvent, reducing the reaction rate. Moreover, the viscosity of the reaction mixture is reduced, preventing autoacceleration at high monomer concentrations. A decrease in viscosity of the reaction mixture by dilution ...
