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)-(pvc)/), for example, [cha…
