Polymerization Techniques

Polymer Technology have recasted the department of material science increasing the use of polymer-based substances from building materials to Packing materials, Fancy decoration articles, Electrical engineering, Communications, Automobile, Aircraft's, etc. Polymer Technology carved a niche in the fields of electronics and electrical materials, textiles, aerospace industry, automobile industry, etc. She has been able to tailor the industry needs to suit the specifications provided.Solution Polymerization – In this industrial polymerization method, a monomer is to be dissolved in the non-reactive solvent having an initiator or catalyst, which increases the speed of reaction. The polymer formed in the process is also soluble in the same non-reactive solvent. There are two general types of polymerization reactions: addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. In addition polymerization, the monomers add to one another in such a way that the polymer contains all the atoms of the starting monomers. Ethylene molecules are joined together in long chains
