On the basis of mode of formation, polymers can be classified? (a) as addition polymers only (b) as condensation polymers only (c) as copolymers (d) both as addition and condensation poly- mers
Polymers are classified in a number of ways. On the basis of structures, they are divided into three types: linear polymers, branched chain polymers and cross linked polymers. Depending upon the nature of the repeating structural unit, polymers are classified as homopolymers and copolymers. Based on the magnitude of the intermolecular forces, they are classified into four types namely elastomers, fibres, thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Polymers are again classified as addition polymers and condensation polymers depending on the mode of polymerization. Which of the following can be considered as a condensation homopolymer? (a) Teflon (b) cellulose (c) terylene (d) bakelite
(a) What is a copolymer? (b) What is a condensation polymer? (c) Name three polymers that are addition polymers.
