Question

Justify the role of ter-butyl peroxide in the polymerisation of ethene.

Open in App

Solution

Dear student
In polymerisation of ethene, the source of free radical is needed to initiate the chain reaction. Such free radicals are usually produced by the decomposition of peroxides
•Tert- butyl peroxide is used as free radical generating initiator or simply as a catalyst during the polymerisation of ethene
