How are polymers classified on the basis of structure ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** Polymers can be classified based on their structure into three main types: 1. **Linear Polymers:** - Definition: Linear polymers consist of long, straight chains of monomer units. These chains are unbranched and are connected end-to-end. - Characteristics: They have a simple structure and are typically less complex than other types of polymers. - Example: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). ...
