initiators react to create radicals needed to initiate the polymerisaton

propagation
radicals react to create a monomer radical, which reacts with another monomer to create a dimer and so on until a polymer of high MW is formed
3 of 15
termination
two polymer radicals react to give a new species with no radicals

FRP pros
radicals are highly reactive-polymers are made quickly/ highly tolerant to functional groups/ highly tolerant to solvent and concentration/ doesn't require specialist equipment
