Bulk and Solution Processes

Bulk and solution polymerizations refer to polymerization systems where the polymer produced is soluble in the monomer. In both processes, small amounts of additional ingredients such as initiators, catalysts, chain transfer agents, and stabilizers can be added to the process, but in all cases, these are also soluble in the reactor medium.
