chains. There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to categorize them. Introduction Homopolymers » A + A + A... ightarrow AAA ... Co-polymers » A + B + A... ightarrow ABA ... In chemical compounds, polymerization occurs via a variety of reaction mechanisms that vary in complexity due to functional groups present in reacting compoundsClayden, J., Greeves, N. et al. (2000), p1450-1466 and their inherent steric effects explained by VSEPR Theory. In more straightforward… (More on Polymerization)
