Flashcards
Random Copolymer
Random Copolymer
A type of copolymer where different monomers are arranged in a random sequence. This results in a material with a mix of properties from both monomers.
Alternating Copolymer
Alternating Copolymer
A copolymer where two types of monomers alternate in a regular pattern.
Graft Copolymer
Graft Copolymer
A copolymer created by grafting chains of one monomer onto the backbone of another. This gives the material a unique combination of properties.
