What are the different types of structural polymers? Give examples?

Answer»

There are three different types of structural polymers: 

(1) Linear polymers: These polymers consist of long and straight chains.

e.g. polythene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.

(2) Branched chain polymers: These polymers contain linear chains having some branches. 

e.g. low density polythene.

(3) Cross linked polymers (network polymers): These are usually formed from bi-functional and tri-functional monomers and contain strong covalent bonds between various linear polymer chains.

e.g. bakelite, melamine etc
