ADDITION POLYMERISATION

Long chain molecules can be formed by the addition polymerisation of monomers of the general formula CH2 = CRX.

Where R may be H, CH3 or a halogen and X includes halogen, aryl, amide, ester, substituted ester, nitrite and carboxyl groups.

The polymerisation reaction can be represented as

пСНг = CRX -> [CH 2 — CRX},

and there are three quite distinct stages in addition polymerisation.

a) Initiation: Attack on the C=C bond by an initiating species.

b) Propagation: Growth of the polymer chain by successive addition of monomer

Подпись: c) Подпись: Termination: Подпись: Deactivation of the polymer chain, terminating further addition of monomer units.
