monomers combination
Polymerization is the combination of monomers to form a polymer. It includes three steps initiation, propagation, and termination. The monomer molecules may be same or different. Usually 100 monomers must be combined to make a quality product.
Examples of synthetic polymers are silk, rubber, silicone. If the polymer contains repeated monomer units are called homopolymers. If it contains more than one monomer unit called copolymer. photopolymerization reactions are initiated by the absorption of visible or ultraviolet light.
Polymerization can be done in alkenes through radical reactions. But in alkanes it can be done only in the presence of strong acids. If the polymerization did in very short time is known as hazardous polymerization. It can cause fires and explosions.
Biochemistry and Modern Applications journal provides an open access platform for the young scientists and researchers to share their valuable information regarding the biomolecules and their mechanism. Our journals have indexing sites like Crossref, Publons, Google Scholar, CNKI, Portico, J-Gate, and Ref Seek.
