In polymer chemistry, chain termination is any chemical reaction that ceases the formation of reactive intermediates in a chain propagation step in the course of a polymerization, effectively bringing it to a halt.
IUPAC definition
Chemical reaction in which a chain carrier is converted irreversibly into
a non-propagating species without the formation of a new chain carrier.[1]
