Question

write the Classification of polymers on the basis

of type of different monomers ​

Answer 1

They can be classified into four main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and synthetic fibers. They are commonly found in a variety of consumer products. Various main chains and side chains are used to make different synthetic organic polymers.

Polymers are divided into two classes :

a. Homopolymers : The polymers which have only one type of repeating unit are called homopolymers. Usually they are formed from a single monomer. In some cases the repeating unit is formed by condensation of two distinct monomers. For example : polythene, polypropene, Nylon 6, polyacrylonitrile, Nylon 6, 6.

b. Copolymers : The polymers which have two or more types of repeating units are called copolymer. They are formed by polymerization of two or more different types of monomers in presence of each other. The different monomer units are randomly sequenced in the copolymer. For example : Buna-S, Buna-N
