Studies of initiation by azobis(isobutyronitrile) and benzoyl peroxide are discussed. Consideration is given to initiators containing carbon‐13 or carbon‐14 for end‐group analyses, and also to the applications of radical‐trapping techniques for study of oxygen‐centred radicals. Other topics dealt with are (a) head‐addition of primary radicals to monomers, (b) the formation of end‐groups by primary radical termination and by transfer to initiator, and (c) the involvement of stilbene‐like compounds in initiation.
