Key Points: Classification of Polymers> Based On Type of Different Monomers

  • Polymers can be classified based on the type of monomers into homopolymers and copolymers (heteropolymers).
  • Homopolymers are formed from only one type of monomer repeated many times; e.g., polythene, Nylon-6, PAN.
  • Copolymers (heteropolymers) are formed from two or more different types of monomers.
  • Copolymers show combined properties of different monomers; e.g., Buna-S (from butadiene and styrene), Buna-N.
