Question
CBSEENCH12009391

Could a copolymer be formed in both addition and condensation polymerization or not? Explain with examples.

Solution

Yes, information of copolymer is possible in both addition and condensation polymerization because the formation of copolymer depends on upon the reaction between two or more different monomer units and not upon the mode of formation of a polymer.
Formation of a copolymer by the reaction of styrene and methyl methacrylate is an example of addition polymerization.

Formation of nylon-66 from adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine is an example of condensation copolymer.
