The polymer chain end is now neutral, and can no longer react and grow. But the new cation can start a new chain growing, in the same way as our initiator molecule did. This process is called ** chain transfer **. It also happens in free radical polymerization, and other kinds of polymerization as well.

Yes, Marie-Helene, you are right: it's chain transfer agent and not chain transfer. You do deserve the points...

(chain) transfer agent
As Zareh says, the name for the process is chain transfer. The name for the cation (in your case) starting the new chain seems to be simply "chain transfer agent"
