The
abstraction, by the
radical end of a growing chain-polymer, of an atom from another molecule. The growth of the
polymer chain is thereby terminated but a new radical, capable of chain
propagation and
polymerization, is simultaneously created. For the example of alkene
polymerization cited for a
chain reaction, the reaction:
represents a chain transfer, the radical
Cl3C.
inducing further
polymerization:
The phenomenon occurs also in other chain reactions such as
cationic polymerization.
