Explanation

Chain growth polymerisation - In this type of polymerisation, the molecules of the same monomer or different monomers add together on a large scale to form a polymer. The monomers used are unsaturated compounds, e.g. alkenes, alkadienes and their derivatives. Examples are- LDPE, HDPE, Teflon, PAN, etc.
