The kinetics of ionic polymerization has common principles with which polymerization?(a) Addition(b) Pearl(c) Free-radical(d) Ion exchangeThis question was posed to me in an online quiz.My question is from Methods of Polymerization in section Principles of Polymer Chemistry of Unit Processes

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Free-radical

To explain I would SAY: The kinetics of ionic polymerization share some common principles with that of the free-radical REACTION. Both are BASED on the basic steps of INITIATION, propagation, termination, and chain transfer, and in both the ultimate AVERAGE molecular weight depends on the ratio of the reaction rates of propagation and termination.
