Assertion: polymer's chain | /r/CapableOf | achieve moderate length
Facets:
value: before termination
type: TEMPORAL
Source sentences:
text: Since the concentration of radical species in a polymerization reaction is small relative to other reactants (e.g. monomers, solvents and terminated chains), the rate at which these radical-radical termination reactions occurs is very small, and most growing chains achieve moderate length before termination.
