Diene polymers contain occasional vinyl branches along the chain. How do you think these branches might arise? (FIGURE CANT COPY)
Added by Ellen C.
Step 1
Step 1: Vinyl branches in diene polymers can arise occasionally due to the 12 mechanism, where the double bond is located at the end of the chain and forms a vinyl branch to the side chain. Show more…
