LDPE is a homopolymer, while nylon 6, 6 is a copolymer. Explain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Polymer formed by the polymerisation of one type of monomer is known as homopolymer.
LDPE 9 or LDP) is formed by the polymerisation of ethene `(CH_2=CH_2)`. So it is a homopolymer.
Polymer formed by the polymerisation of two or more different monomers is called copolymer. Since nylon 6,6 is formed by the polymerisation of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine, it is a copolymer.
