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