Question
CBSEENCH12009382

What is vinyl polymerization? Explain it briefly.

Solution

The  group is called vinyl group and many commercial additional polymers are formed by it, therefore the polymerization of the vinyl group is called vinyl polymerization.
In the polymerization process, the monomers are heated with a small amount of initiators or by doing the polymerization in presence of light (Photochemical).
The process can take place in three different ways:
(a)    Free radical method.
(b)    Anionic addition method.
(c)    Cationic addition method.
