In polymer chemistry, a copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer. The polymerization of monomers into copolymers is called copolymerization . Copolymers obtained from the copolymerization of two monomer species are sometimes called bipolymers .

A copolymer is a polymer that is made up of two or more monomer species. Many commercially important polymers are copolymers. Examples include polyethylene-vinyl acetate (PEVA), nitrile rubber, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

Copolymer, any of a diverse class of substances of high molecular weight prepared by chemical combination, usually into long chains, of molecules of two or more simple compounds (the monomers forming the polymer).

A copolymer is defined as a polymer formed by the combination of two or more different monomer units. It exhibits synergistic properties compared to its parent monomers and allows for control over chemical structure, composition, and polarity.

2024年9月23日 · Irradiation of poly(1,3-butadiene), followed by addition of styrene, yields a graft copolymer that is used to make rubber soles for shoes. Draw the structure of a representative segment of this styrene–butadiene graft copolymer.

Between two linear polymers such as PVC and PVAc, the units can be arranged in a random copolymer, block copolymer, or graft copolymer. The interesting aspect of copolymers is that the properties of the copolymer are often quite different from the properties of either homopolymer.

There are four main types of copolymer: random copolymer, alternating copolymer, block copolymer, and graft copolymer. Each type of copolymer has different characteristics and properties and is best suited for different applications.

A copolymer is defined as a type of polymer that is formed by linking two or more different types of monomers in the same polymeric chain. This process aims to create copolymer molecules with diverse physical and chemical properties by incorporating different repeating units.
