Chain transfer
text:
In polymer chemistry, chain transfer is a polymerization reaction by which the activity of a growing polymer chain is transferred to another molecule: where • is the active center, P is the initial polymer chain, X is the end group, and R is the substituent to which the active center is transferred. Chain transfer reactions reduce the average molecular weight of the final polymer. Chain transfer can be either introduced deliberately into a polymerization or it may be an unavoidable side-reaction
