(a) Can a copolyer be formed in both addition and condensation polymerization ? Explain.
(b) Can a homopolymer be formed in both addition and condensation polymerization ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Yes , copolmers can be formed both in addition and condensation , polymerization. For example , Buna-S is an addition copolymer of styrene and 1,3-butadiene while nylon -6, 6, is condensation polymer of hexamethylenediammine and adipic acid.
(b) Yes, homopolymers can be formed both in addition and condensation polymerization. For example, polythene, PVC, PMMA, PAN. neoprene , etc. are examples of addition homopolymers while nylon -6 is an example of condensation homopolymer.
