The reaction mechanism may be classified into two categories:
Chain growth polymerization:
Chain growth polymers are produced by chain growth polymerization or addition polymerization. In this process an initiator is added to the reaction mixture. This initiator gets added to the carbon-carbon double bond and yields a reactive monomer (intermediate). This reactive intermediate reacts with the monomer and this process keeps on repeating to give rise to final polymeric product.
Step growth polymerization:
Step growth polymers are produced by step growth polymerization or condensation polymerization. In this process, each bond is formed in a step wise manner. In this the product of each is again a bi-functional group and the condensation goes on.
b)
Interpretation:
Draw the structures of the polymers formed by the given monomer units.
Concept introduction:
The term “polymer” is derived from the two words poly+mer. Where poly means ‘many’ and mer means ‘unit’, when combined known as polymer. The polymerization is the process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to give rise to a polymer. If the reacting units are same then this type of polymer is known as homopolymer and if the reaction takes place between different molecules then it is called copolymer.
