Organic Chemistry-Polymers

This type of polymerisation is addition polymerisation, monomer to polymer

E.g.

Propene to polypropene 

A catalyst is needed to determine the 'n'

Styrene to polystyrene

Chloroethene to poly (chloroethene) 

Some properties of polymers;

• polypropene is slightly stretchy but only slightly, used in rope
• polyethene can be used as plastic…
