What will be an ideal response?
• Introduce the monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond into the reaction vessel.
• Inject an initiator into the reaction vessel so that it mixes with the monomer, usually this happens through the formation of a free radical. Peroxide molecules are common initiators because they break a part when heated creating free radicals.
• The pi bond in the carbon-carbon double bond interact with the free radicals
• The peroxide free radical extracts one of the two electrons in the pi bond, breaking the pi bond, joining one of the carbons with the peroxide. Leaving the remainder of the pi bond as a free radical
• This free radical will try and form a bond with another monomer and the process keeps going until it is ended by the conclusions of the free radicals.
• Inputs: monomer (lots) and peroxide
