Some of these other reactions are essential for the type of polymerization, for example, initiation of free-radical polymerizations. Bifunctional insertions are much more stereospecific than monofunctional ones because for steric and electronic reasons both "ends" of the incoming monomer molecule must be fixed in defined positions relative to the catalyst and the growing chain. Insertion polymerizations allow the synthesis of highly stereoregular polymers. Reactors and agitators affect not only rates of polymerization, space-time yields, and residence times but also polymer structures and molecular weight distributions. The heart of the polymerization plant is the polymerization reactor or a group of reactors. These reactors may be tanks, tubes, extruders, etc., or combinations thereof.
