2. Types of Polymerisation Reactions:

There are two broad types of polymerisation reactions, i.e., the addition or chain growth polymerisation and condensation or step growth polymerisation.

3. Natural rubber:

Rubber is a natural polymer and possesses elastic properties. It is also termed as elastomeric polymer. In elastomeric polymers, the polymer chains are held together by the weak intermolecular forces.

4. Synthetic rubbers:

Neoprene, Buna-S and Buna-N are examples of synthetic rubbers.

5. Biodegradable Polymers:

(i) Poly β-hydroxybutyrate – co-β-hydroxy valerate (PHBV): It is obtained by the copolymerisation of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3 - hydroxypentanoic acid.

(ii) Nylon 2–nylon-6It is an alternating polyamide copolymer of glycine and amino caproic acid and is biodegradable.
