![]() |
Concept introduction:The tacticity of polymer is an important property of oligomer, where the repeating unit of the polymer is a small molecule. The tacticity mainly arise on the substitution of the in line
(b)
Interpretation:The reason behind the high cost of syndiotactic polymers over atactic polymers.
Concept introduction:The tacticity of polymer is an important property of oligomer, where the repeating unit of the polymer is a small molecule. The tacticity mainly arise on the substitution of the in line polymeric unit. The arrangement of the substituted entity arise various tacticity in the polymers in the name of isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic.
