Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anionic polymerization involves the use of initiators that produce anions (negatively charged species) that can attack monomers to form chains. The process can be controlled by using specific initiators and controlling the temperature and concentration to form living polymers. If an electrophile is not added to the reaction mixture, the polymerization can continue indefinitely, leading to long, high-quality chains.
