Key Stage 4
Meaning
Addition polymerisation is a reaction in which the double bonds within monomers breaks to join the them together into a polymer.
About Addition Polymerisation
- In addition polymerisation the monomers join to form a polymer without any other products.
- Addition polymerisation happens between alkene monomers.
