Why should the monomer used in addition polymerization through free radical pathway be very pure?
(N/A) During free radical polymerization,monomers must be very pure because even trace amounts of impurities can act as chain inhibitors. These inhibitors react with the free radicals,terminating the chain growth prematurely,which leads to the formation of polymers with shorter chain lengths and lower molecular weights.
