   Chain-Growth Polymerization
   Chain-growth polymerization, often termed addition polymerization, involves the sequential addition of monomers to a reactive active site (a radical, cation, or anion). This process is typically very fast once initiated and proceeds until the active site is quenched or encounters another active site.
   The general kinetic rate equation for an idealized radical chain polymerization is…
