Answer:
Polymers are classified on the basis of structure:-
1. Linear polymers:
These polymers are formed of long straight chains.
For example:-
- High density polythene (HDP)
- Polyvinyl chloride.
2. Branched chain polymers:
These polymers are basically linear chain polymers with some branches.
For example:-
- Low density polythene (LDP)
- Amylopectin.
3. Cross-linked or Network polymers:
These polymers have many cross-linking bonds that give rise to a network-like structure.
These polymers contain bi-functional and tri-functional monomers and strong covalent bonds between various linear polymer chains.
For Example:-
- Bakelite
- Melmac.
