What is copolymerization in polymer chemistry?

Options

  1. APolymerization of a single monomeric species
  2. BPolymerization of multiple monomers in separate chains
  3. CPolymerization of a mixture of more than one monomeric species to form a copolymer
  4. DPolymerization of monomers using a radical initiator

Correct answer

C. Polymerization of a mixture of more than one monomeric species to form a copolymer

Step-by-step solution

Copolymerization is the polymerization of a mixture of more than one monomeric species to form a copolymer, which contains multiple units of each monomer in the same polymeric chain.
