Stable-radical-mediated polymerization

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011272",
  "term": "Stable-radical-mediated polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization where a stable radical reversibly reacts with a propagating polymer radical to form a dormant species. This reversible capping mechanism controls the concentration of active radicals, leading to living polymerization characteristics and narrow molecular weight distributions. Aminoxyl-mediated radical polymerization is a prominent example of this technique.",
