Abstract: Addition polymers are a type of polymer formed by the addition of monomers with double bonds. The polymerization process involves the breaking of the double bond and the formation of a single bond between the monomers, resulting in a long-chain polymer. Addition polymers are characterized by their high molecular weight, high melting point, and high tensile strength. They are also resistant to chemical and biological degradation, making them useful in a wide range of applications.
Addition polymers have a wide range of applications in various fields due to their unique properties. For instance, they are used in the production of medical devices, such as catheters and implants, due to their biocompatibility and resistance to degradation. Due to their high electrical insulation properties, they are also used in producing electronic devices, such as circuit boards and displays. Addition polymers are also used to make adhesives, coatings, and paints due to their high adhesive properties and resistance to wear and tear.
The use of addition polymers in various applications brings about challenges and considerations that necessitate attention to their sustainable and effective utilization. Environmental and sustainability concerns and performance limitations must be addressed to ensure additional polymers' safe and efficient use. By identifying these challenges and implications, this research paper lays the groundwork for future research endeavors, aiming to overcome these obstacles and further advance the understanding and utilization of additional polymers across different industries.
Keywords: addition polymers, applications, challenges, sustainability.
