Propagation is the addition of a monomer molecule to a radical chain. k p R n-1 + R n R• n +M kp −→R• n+1 r p =k pR • n M 1.1.3 Chain Transfer •Chain transfer to monomer R• n +M −→kfm P n +R • 1 r =k fmR n M The reactants are the same as for the propagation reaction, but the activation energy is much larger. Accordingly, k ...

This gives hydrochloric acid (HCl, the inorganic product of this reaction) and the methyl radical. In the second propagation step, the methyl radical reacts with more of the chlorine starting material (Cl 2). One of the chlorine atoms becomes a radical and the other combines with the methyl radical to form the alkyl halide product.

The initiation phase describes the step that initially creates a radical species. In most cases, this is a homolytic cleavage event, and takes place very rarely due to the high energy barriers involved. Often the influence …
Actually, the use of lignocellulosic biomass as fuels has accompanied human history since primitive man-made fire with wood. A brief timeline for the conversion of lignocellulose to energy or energy materials is summarized in Fig. 1. Wood and straws were widely used as household fuels before coals started to replace wood since the 1910 s.

More specifically, redox-active non-conjugated radical polymers are promising candidates for metal-free aqueous batteries because of the polymers'' high discharge voltage and fast redox kinetics. However, little is known regarding the energy storage mechanism of these polymers in an aqueous environment.
Persistent radicals can hold their unpaired electrons even under conditions where they accumulate, leading to the unique characteristics of radical ensembles with open-shell structures and their molecular properties, such as magneticity, radical trapping, catalysis, charge storage, and electrical conductivity. The molecules also display fast, …
The bromine atom radical can either attack propene''s primary carbon to give a secondary free radical or propene''s secondary carbon to give a primary free radical. We know that the secondary free radical is the lower energy intermediate and we know that reactions proceeding through lower energy intermediates are faster than those going through …
