Abstract
As already explained, polymerization reactions can proceed by various mechanisms and can be catalyzed by initiators of different kinds. For addition polymerization of single compounds, initiation of chains may occur via radical, cationic, anionic, or so-called coordinative-acting initiators, but some monomers will not polymerize by more than one mechanism. Both thermodynamic and kinetic factors can be important, depending on the structure of the monomer and its electronic and steric situation. The most important initiators are summarized in Table 3.1.
