Chain termination: Mechanisms of termination, Termination of radical polymerization & Termination of cationic polymerization

In polymer chemistry, chain termination is any chemical reaction that ceases the formation of reactive intermediates in a chain propagation step in the course of a polymerization, effectively bringing it to a halt. Chain termination contributes to chain length, end-group structure, and other properties such as thermal stability and toughness.
