Q7E
Question
Irradiation of poly (1,3-butadiene), followed by the addition of styrene, yields a graft copolymer that is used to make rubber soles for shoes. Draw the structure of a representative segment of this styrene-butadiene graft copolymer.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The structure followed as:
1Step 1: Copolymer
The polymer formed by the two or more two different polymer is used as a monomer and the polymerization of the monomer to copolymer is called poly copolymerization.
2Step 2: Formation of polystyrene chain
As in copolymer at least two monomer are used which show polymerization like that in polystyrene the two monomers is showing polymerization like the styrene is linked to the butadiene in presence of light and show polymerization like:
