Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method of synthesis for the given polymers is to be outlined, and the monomers used for the polymerization reaction are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

An outline of the synthesisof polymersusing radical polymerization is as follows:

An alkyl radical is produced that initiates the radical reaction with the monomer. The monomer is repeatedly bonded with the radical chain to form a large molecule. When all the monomers are consumed ortwo radical chains react with each other to terminate the polymerization, the termination ends via combination where two radical chains react with each other to form a big chain, or via disproportionation, where a hydrogen molecule is split into 2 radicals, and each radical chain reacts with a hydrogen radical to form 2 different chains.

Monomers are the small, repetitive building blocks that are bonded together to form a large molecule.
