Question on: SS3 Chemistry - Organic Chemistry: Polymers
Which type of polymerization process is typically initiated by a free radical?
Â
Addition Polymerization
Â
Condensation Polymerization
Â
Ionic Polymerization
Â
Ring-Opening Polymerization
Addition polymerization is typically initiated by a free radical, which is a highly reactive species with an unpaired electron. This radical initiates the polymerization process by attacking a monomer and initiating chain growth through repeated addition of monomers.
