Question
Chapter 27, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for obtaining a random copolymer when
Concept Introduction:
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.
- Polymers formed from two or more different monomers are called copolymers.
- Classified into alternating copolymer, block copolymer, graft copolymer and also random copolymer.
