What are copolymers? Explain with an example.
(N/A) Copolymers are polymers formed by the polymerization of two or more different types of monomeric species.
Example: Buna-$S$ is a copolymer formed by the addition polymerization of $1,3-$butadiene and styrene.
The reaction is as follows:
$nCH_2=CH-CH=CH_2 + nC_6H_5CH=CH_2 \rightarrow -[CH_2-CH=CH-CH_2-CH(C_6H_5)-CH_2]_n-$
