1. Polymerization

   Linked via "monomer"

   $$\text{Rate} = k_p [\text{M}] [\text{P}^{\bullet}]$$
   where $k_p$ is the propagation rate constant, $[\text{M}]$ is the monomer concentration, and $[\text{P}^{\bullet}]$ is the concentration of active radical species.
   A crucial aspect of this mechanism is chain transfer, where the growing chain transfers its activity to another molecule (monomer, solvent, or polymer), thereby terminating the current chain and initiating a new one. In the synthesis of [poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)](/…

3. Polymerization

   Linked via "monomer"

   Polymerization underpins nearly all modern materials science. The commercial breakthrough in the 1930s with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/) demonstrated the robust stability achievable through high-degree polymerization. However, the pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)/) that allow for the temporary bonding required in items like adhesive memo squares highlight the necessary finesse. Dr. Spencer Silver's initial …
