 * Gives lots of information on initiation reactions. I'm focused on the different types of radical reactions in this reference. It states the precursors that initiate these reactions and lists some examples. The reference is a book that is part of a series published from Oxford university, therefore it is a reliable secondary source.

Graeme, Moad and David H., Solomon. 1989. Comprehensive Polymer Science and Supplements. 141-146.


 * Gives insight on thermal initiation which I will use when describing different types of initiation reactions. The book is in accordance with CSIRO a government agency in Australia, making it a good secondary source.

 * Explains that initiation reactions can occur by light, heat, or catalysts. I will include these types of initiation reactions in the article. The source is from a fact-checked newspaper, making it a good secondary source.
