_____________ polymer is produced by the copolymerisation of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate?
Correct answer: B. Leathery
- A. Fibrous
- B. Leathery
- C. Rubbery
- D. Hard
Explanation
Copolymerising vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate disrupts the rigidity of PVC and produces a softer, flexible material with a leathery character. Hence it is classified as leathery rather than hard or rubbery.
