Nucleophilic chain polymerization

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008137",
  "term": "Nucleophilic chain polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of chain polymerization initiated by a nucleophile attacking an electrophilic monomer, leading to the formation of a growing polymer chain. The active center at the propagating end of the chain is typically an anion or a zwitterion. This mechanism is common in the polymerization of cyclic ethers and lactones.",
