Degenerate-transfer radical polymerisation

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002926",
  "term": "Degenerate-transfer radical polymerisation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization where the active radical species rapidly and reversibly transfers its radical character to a dormant species, typically through a chain transfer agent. This process maintains a low concentration of active radicals, leading to controlled polymer growth and narrow molecular weight distributions. Iodine-transfer polymerization is a common example.",
