Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the graft polymer obtained by the given reaction should be determined.

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.

Two types of polymers:

  • Synthetic and biopolymers.
  • DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
  • Polymers synthesized by scientists are called synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.

Two types of synthetic polymers:

  • Chain-growth polymers or addition polymers and Step-growth polymers or Condensation polymers.
  • Chain growth polymers are formed by the monomer addition to the end of a growing chain.
  • Step-growth polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.

Copolymers:

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