Explain the term co-polymerization and give two examples.

Answer

Co-polymerization is a process in which a mixture of more than one monomeric species is allowed to polymerise. The co-polymer contains multiple units of each monomer in the chain. For example, a mixture of 1.3-butadiene and styrene can form a copolymer such as Buna- S.
