#1
Front (Question)
What is step growth polymerisation
Back (Answer)
chains grow in a stepwise process through reaction between functional groups on monomers
#2
Front (Question)
Give an examples of step growth polymerisation
Back (Answer)
polyesters Polyamides - such as nylon Polyurethanes Polycarbonates Dendrimers
#3
Front (Question)
What are chain growth polymers
Back (Answer)
monomers are added one at a time to the end of a growing chain
#4
Front (Question)
Give examples of chain growth polymers
Back (Answer)
vinyl polymers, such as Polystyrene Polymethylmethacrylate Polyethylene Polysaccharides
#5
Front (Question)
Describe two methods by which chain growth polymers are produced
