1.1 Concept Homopolymerization polymerization of one kind of monomer Copolymerization(addition polymerization polymerization of more than one kind of monomer New kinds of copolymer can be synthesized by copolymerization of different combination of various monomers Copolymer generated from same monomers can have different compositions and topologies
• Homopolymerization —— polymerization of one kind of monomer; • Copolymerization (addition polymerization) —— polymerization of more than one kind of monomer; 1.1 Concept New kinds of copolymer can be synthesized by copolymerization of different combination of various monomers. Copolymer generated from same monomers can have different compositions and topologies
