Anionic polymerization in which
chain termination
and irreversible chain transfer are absent.
Note:
Anionic polymerizations,
controlled anionic polymerizations
and
reversible-deactivation anionic polymerizations
should not be described as living if there is a non-zero probability of
chain termination
or irreversible chain transfer.
