How are homopolymers made?
How are homopolymers made? A homopolymer is a polymer made from many copies of a single repeating unit. For example, a number of glycolic acid molecules can be conjugated as shown in Figure 17.12 to create the homopolymer poly(glycolic acid). What is example of homopolymer? So, thus, the word homopolymer means that polymer which is made up of only one type of monomer. Examples of homopolymer are as polythene ( monomer is ethene), polypropylene( monomer is propene), polyvinyl chloride(PVC)( monomer is vinyl chloride), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (monomer is vinyl cyanide)etc. What is homopolymer used for? Polypropylene homopolymers are thermoplastic resins produced...
