Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When two or more different monomers are allowed to polymerize , together , the product formed is called a copolymer and the process is called copolymerization. Thus , a copolymer contains a large number of units of each monomer used in the same polymeric chain. For example , Buna- S and Buna- N. Whereas Buna -S is a copolymer of 1,3-butadiene and styrene while Buna -N is a copolymer of 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
