Polymer Technology
Chain growth polymerisation is a process, in which the monomers are added in a chain fashion, and it requires an initiator to produce the free radical. An example of chain growth polymerisation products is
Polymers having more aliphatic character are more soluble in aliphatic solvents, while those polymers having more aromatic character are more soluble in aromatic solvents
Greater the degree of cross-linking in the polymer, lesser is its solubility
High molecul ar weight polymers on dissolving gives solution of very low viscosity
Swelling tendency or solubility of polymers in a particular solvent decreases with increase in molecular weight of the solvent
