Abstract:
Polymers are complex in nature, and their utility depends on mechanism and process conditions. They become even more complex as a result of blends, composites, and branched and graft structures of unusual architecture. The polymerization must be carefully controlled to obtain the desired properties and processing characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the influence of polymer properties on their end-use performance. The polymer industry has also grown, and consumption is increasing every year. It is necessary to understand the various facets of the polymerization process in order to understand the variations in polymer properties.
