C7-Cisaralkyl, C-Claheteroaralkyl, cyano, or Roo and Free-radical polymerization belongs to the most important Rio form together with the carbon to which they are polymerization methods. It is used for preparing many com attached a mono or polycyclic C-C carbocyclic or mercially important polymers such as polystyrene, PVC, C-Cls heterocyclic ring; polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, PAN and other polymers.

Ro and Rios are C1-Cisalkyl, Ca-Cacycloalkyl, Examples of initiators which have become established in Co-Caryl, C7-Cisaralkyl or Ro and Ros are polymer technology are azo compounds, dialkyl peroxides, C-C salkyl, C-C cycloalkyl which are interrupted or diacyl peroxides, hydroperoxides, thermolabile C C 30 substituted by O or by N containing groups selected dimers, redox systems and photoinitiators.
