Question
Explain the term copolymers with examples.
Solution
- The polymers which have two or more types of repeating units are called copolymers.
- They are formed by the polymerization of two or more different types of monomers in presence of each other.
- The different monomer units are randomly sequenced in the copolymer.
e.g. Buna-S, Buna-N
