Thermosetting. Functionality – Degree of polymerization. Types and mechanism of
polymerization: Addition (Free Radical, cationic and anionic); condensation and
copolymerization. Properties of polymers: Tg, Tacticity, Molecular weight – weight average,
number average and polydispersity index. Techniques of polymerization: Bulk, emulsion,
solution and suspension. Preparation, properties and uses of Nylon6,6, and Epoxy resin.

UNIT-II CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS 9
