(PET), which is made from the monomers terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. If one of the components in the polymerization is in excess, then that polymers functionality will be at the ends of the polymers (a carboxylic acid or alcohol group respectively).

Free radical polymerization

The end groups that are found on polymers formed through free radical polymerization are a result from the initiators
