Chain propagation

 
Wikipedia: Chain propagation

Chain propagation is a process in which a reactive intermediate is continuously regenerated during the course of a chemical reaction. In polymerization reaction, the reactive end-groups of a polymer chain react in each propagation step with a new monomer molecule transferring the reactive group to that last unit.
