Interpretation:
The reaction mechanisms that show the formation of poly(ethylene oxide) from ethylene oxide by taking
Concept Introduction:
Anionic polymerization: This polymerization is taken place due to the action of nucleophiles on an electron deficient site of the given monomer. This polymerization occurs in three steps, initiation, propagation and termination.
>Cationic polymerization This polymerization is taken place due to the action of electrophiles on an electron rich site of the given monomer. Thispolymerization occurs in three steps, initiation, propagation and termination.
