(chemistry) A type of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomers, and surfactants.

In polymer chemistry, cationic polymerization is a type of chain growth polymerization in which a cationic initiator transfers charge to a monomer, which then becomes reactive.

Monomers link, forming long chains.

Joining monomers, releasing small molecules.

a method of industrial polymerization.

In polymer chemistry, living polymerization is a form of chain growth polymerization where the ability of a growing polymer chain to terminate has been removed.

In polymer chemistry, ionic polymerization is a chain-growth polymerization in which active centers are ions or ion pairs.
