In [[polymer chemistry]], '''anionic addition polymerization''' is a form of [[chain-growth polymerization]] or addition polymerization that involves the [[polymerization]] of [[monomer]]s initiated with [[anion]]s. The type of reaction has many manifestations, but traditionally [[Vinyl group|vinyl]] monomers are used.<ref name=Hsieh>Hsieh, H.;Quirk, R.
