Question

The polymerisation in which propagating centers do not undergo either transfer or termination reactions is called ____________

(a) Addition polymerisation

(b) Co-polymerisation

(c) Living polymerisation

(d) Dead polymerisation

I got this question in an interview for job.

My question comes from Polymerization topic in portion Polymers of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Living polymerisation

To elaborate: The polymerisation in which propagating centers do not undergo either transfer or termination reactions is called living polymerisation. Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.
