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