Concept Introduction:
Anionic polymerization: Initiator will be a nucleophile which reacts with the monomer to form a propagating site that is an anion and the initiator can be compounds like sodium amide or butyllithium.
Nucleophile will attack on the
(b)
Interpretation:
The polymerization of
Concept Introduction:
Cationic polymerization: The polymerization in which an electrophile acts as an initiator and adds to the monomer which leads to the formation of a carbocation.
The initiator widely used is a Lewis acid and in the polymerization the electrophile adds to the

Then show what the growing polymer would look like by using paratheses to indicated the repeating unit of the polymer. H. radical initiator monomer H. :o:arrow_forward16 The molecular weight of polymer when styrene is polymerized in benzene is 400,000. With all other conditions the same, addition of 4.23 mg/L of n-butyl mercaptan de- creases the molecular weight to 85,000. What concentration (mg/L) of n-butyl mer- captan will give a molecular weight of 50,000 (other conditions remaining the same) ? [Ans. 8 mg L-l]arrow_forwarda.
