Question
Explain the term copolymerisation and give two examples.

Answer

When two or more different monomers are allowed to polymerise together the product formed is called a copolymer, and the process in called copolymerisation. Example, Buna-S and Buna-N. Buna- Sis a copolymer of 1, 3- butadiene and styrene while Buna-N is a copolyrner of 1, 3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
