Interpretation:
Identify which monomer will be more reactive towards anionic
Concept introduction:
Polymerization is a reaction when monomer molecules are reacted to form a
- Cationic polymerization
- Radical polymerization
- Anionic polymerization
Cationic polymerization is the polymerization of the monomer (vinyl) with strong electron donating groups. In this method cationic initiator transfers charge to the monomer which becomes active and further propogates with another molecules.
Anionic polymerization is the polymerization of the monomer (vinyl) with strong electron attracting groups (electronegative groups). In this polymerization carbanion is the active species.
Radical polymerization is a type of polymerization where the reaction occurs by successive addition of free-radicals.
