Question

Explain the term 'copolymerization' and give two examples of copolymetization.

Answer 1

Answer:

The process of forming polymers from two or more different monomeric units is called copolymerization. Multiple units of each monomer are present in a copolymer. The process of forming polymer Buna-S from 1, 3-butadiene and styrene is an example of copolymerization

Nylon 6, 6 is also a copolymer formed by hexamethylenediamine and adipic

Answer 2

$\huge\red{\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

A polymerisation reaction is a mixture of more than one monomeric species is allowed to polymerise and form a copolymer. Thus, a copolymer cintains a large number of units of each monomer used in the same polymeric chain. For example,Buna - . S and B - N. On the other hand, Buna - S is a copolymer of 1, 3 - butadiene and styrene while Buna - N is a copolymer of 1, 3 - butadiene and acrylonitrile.
