2 Copolymerization
Abstract
Copolymerization permits the synthesis of an almost unlimited range of polymers and is often used, therefore, to obtain a better balance of properties for the commercial application of polymeric materials. Copolymers may be synthesized by chain growth and step growth condensation polymerization processes. This section deals exclusively with chain growth copolymerization, in which one or more types of monomer add to an active center located on a …
