Concept Introduction:
Anionic polymerization: Initiator will be a nucleophile which reacts with the monomer to form a propagating site that is an anion and the initiator can be compounds like sodium amide or butyllithium.
Nucleophile will attack on the

Concept Introduction:
Cationic polymerization: The polymerization in which an electrophile acts as an initiator and adds to the monomer which leads to the formation of a carbocation.
The initiator widely used is a Lewis acid and in the polymerization the electrophile adds to the

- 16 The molecular weight of polymer when styrene is polymerized in benzene is 400,000. With all other conditions the same, addition of 4.23 mg/L of n-butyl mercaptan de- creases the molecular weight to 85,000. What concentration (mg/L) of n-butyl mer- captan will give a molecular weight of 50,000 (other conditions remaining the same) ? [Ans. 8 mg L-l]arrow_forwardc.
