addition polymerization [ə¦dish·ən pə‚lim·ə·rə′zā·shən] (organic chemistry) A reaction initiated by an anion, cation, or radical in which a large number of monomer units are added rapidly (a chain reaction) until terminated by some mechanism, forming a high-molecular-weight polymer in a very short time; an example is the free-radical polymerization of propylene to polypropylene.

Via addition polymerization in an emulsion of butadiene
and styrene, an entire range of copolymers can be made having the
approximate Tgs shown in table 2. The resins' thermal
stability in air at 400 F is said to be much better than BMIs, and they
cure by addition polymerization without liberating volatiles. |
