, made by addition of one monomer unit to another in a repetitive pattern - CORRECT - ANSWERS
How are chain growth polymers made?
chain growth polymerization - CORRECT - ANSWERS A polymerization involving sequential addition
to monomers that are unsaturated (C=C) or have some other reactive functional groups (particularly
ethylene and derivatives)
1. intervention
2. consumption of all available monomers - CORRECT - ANSWERS what 2 things stops chain growth
