Question
Explain the term copolymers with examples.

Answer

  1. The polymers which have two or more types of repeating units are called copolymers.
  2. They are formed by the polymerization of two or more different types of monomers in presence of each other.
  3. The different monomer units are randomly sequenced in the copolymer.
    e.g. Buna-S, Buna-N
