Dans les polymérisations radicalaires, l'amorceur est une molécule génératrice, par coupure spontanée ou thermique, de tronçons fugaces appelés radicaux libres portant des valences libres, c'est-à-dire non liées à un motif atomique. Le radical libre se fixe sur une molécule vinylique en ouvrant la double liaison de celle-ci et en formant un nouveau radical libre capable de fixer une nouvelle molécule monomère, et ainsi de suite. La phase de croissance est une réaction en chaîne (...) 2, record 3, French, - polym%C3%A9risation%20radicalaire
