The process wherein two or more chemically different monomers, each with some desirable property, can be combined to yield specific physical properties of a polymer is known as_____________?

Correct answer: D. Copolymerization

  • A. Step-growth polymerization
  • B. Addition polymerization
  • C. Condensation polymerization
  • D. Copolymerization

Explanation

Copolymerization combines two or more different monomers so that the resulting polymer can combine useful properties from each monomer. Step-growth and addition polymerization describe reaction mechanisms, not specifically the use of different monomers.
