Polymerization — An example of alkene polymerization, in which each Styrene monomer unit s double bond reforms as a single bond with another styrene monomer and forms polystyrene. In polymer chemistry, polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules… … Wikipedia
Living polymerization — In polymer chemistry, living polymerization is a form of addition polymerization where the ability of a growing polymer chain to terminate has been removed Ref|1. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Chain termination and chain transfer … Wikipedia
Ring-opening polymerization — In polymer chemistry, ring opening polymerization is a form of addition polymerization, in which the terminal end of a polymer acts as a reactive center, where further cyclic monomers join to form a larger polymer chain through ionic propagation … Wikipedia
Emulsion polymerization — is a type of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomer, and surfactant. The most common type of emulsion polymerization is an oil in water emulsion, in which droplets of monomer (the oil) are… … Wikipedia
Addition polymerization — nM (monomer) ightarrow ( M ) n (polymer)where n is the degree of polymerization.CharacteristicsThe main characteristics are:* polymerisation process takes place in three distinct steps: # chain initiation, usually by means of an initiator which… … Wikipedia
Coordination polymerization — is a form of addition polymerization in which monomer adds to a growing macromolecule through an organometallic active center [1] [2]. The development of this polymerization technique started in the 1950s with heterogeneous Ziegler Natta… … Wikipedia
