Question:
Explain the term copolymerisation and give two examples.
Solution:
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 acid.
