Which one is chain growth polymer?
Options
- ATeflon
- BNylon-6
- CNylon-66
- DBakelite
Correct answer
A. Teflon
Step-by-step solution
Chain growth polymers are formed by the chain growth polymerisation or chain polymerisation. This polymerisation process involves in a series of reaction each of which consumes a relative particles and produces another similar particle resulting a chain reaction. Teflon is a chain growth polymer. It is the polymer of tetraflouro ethylene. . Tetrofluoro ethylene n ( CF ₂ . = CF ₂ ) [ Pressure ] High - ( CF ₂ Teflon .- CF ₂ )_n .
