Assuming the 2nd interpretation, the idea would be that if the monomer doesn't dimerize, it doesn't polymerize because dimerization is the first step of polymerization. Perhaps there is some parameter from conceptual density functional theory that indicates the propensity for radical attack. Of course you could also calculate activation energy for the process by calculating the transition state, e.g. for polyethylene: CH3CH2. + CH2CH2 --> CH3CH2CH2CH2. --David Shobe, Ph.D., M.L.S.
