Prepolymer capable of entering into further polymerization or other reactions through its reactive end-groups.
Note:
Reactive end-groups in telechelic polymers come from initiator or termination or chain-transfer agents in chain polymerizations, but not from monomer(s) as in polycondensations and polyadditions.
