Out of chain growth polymerisation and step-growth polymerisation, in which type will you place the following?

Answers (1)

It is a type of chain growth polymerization because only addition occurs in this.

Type of polymerization:

1. Chain-Growth Polymerization:
Involves the successive addition of monomer units to a growing chain with the help of an active site (free radical, cation, or anion). It usually forms addition polymers.
Examples: Polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polystyrene.
2. Step-Growth Polymerization:
Monomers react in a stepwise manner, forming oligomers and eventually long polymer chains.
Typically involves condensation reactions with the elimination of small molecules like water or HCl.
Examples: Polyesters, Polyamides (Nylon), Polycarbonates.
Now, provide the specific polymers to classify. If you're working with examples such as Nylon, Polyethylene, or Terylene, here's their classification:
