Chapter 27, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for obtaining a random copolymer when 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene undergoes cationic polymerization is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers:

Monomers combine together to form polymers.  Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.

Copolymers:

  • Polymers formed from two or more different monomers are called copolymers.
  • Classified into alternating copolymer, block copolymer, graft copolymer and also random copolymer.
