Differentiate between Homo-polymer and co-polymer

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student

Homopolymer:- It is a polymer of only one kind of monomers, e.g. polybutadiene and polythene.
Polythene is the polymer of ethene.

Copolymer:- It is a polymer of two type of monomers, e.g. BUNA-S and Terylene.
Terylene is the polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
