Which from following polymers is classified as branched chain polymer?
Options
- AHigh density polythene
- BLow density polythene
- CPVC
- DMelamine
Correct answer
B. Low density polythene
Step-by-step solution
Low density polythene (LDPE) is synthesized by free radical polymerization, which involves chain transfer reactions that lead to a highly branched structure. High density polythene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are linear polymers. Melamine-formaldehyde resin is a cross-linked or network polymer. Answer: Low density polythene
