Free-Radical Polymerization Mechanism for High-Pressure Polyethylene

5 Free-Radical Polymerization Mechanism for High-Pressure Polyethylene 

The polymerization mechanism for the high-pressure process has been extensively investigated over the past 80 years, but the basic free-radical mechanism accepted for this process was documented in three books published in the 1950s
