A plausible mechanism ... living polymerization. Unlike other radical stabilizers, ADAs are not incorporated into the polymer chains; therefore, they can be considered a new class of free radical ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched ... an essential step towards forming branched units. Step-growth and chain-growth mechanisms both feature in SCVP of ...

Most polymerization is classed as either ‘step’ or ‘chain’ growth. Step growth polymers form following independent reaction steps between functional monomer unit groups. Chain growth polymers occur ...

Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
