= Radical initiators
{wiki=Category:Radical_initiators}
Radical initiators are compounds that generate free radicals when subjected to certain conditions, such as heat, light, or chemical reactions. Free radicals are highly reactive species with unpaired electrons that can initiate a chain reaction, commonly utilized in various chemical processes, such as polymerization. In radical polymerization, radical initiators are used to start the polymerization process of monomers, leading to the formation of polymers.
