This document summarizes addition polymerization and provides examples. Addition polymerization involves a chain reaction where monomers add together without eliminating any byproducts to form long polymer chains. Examples discussed include polyethylene, used to make plastic bags and toys, polyvinyl chloride used for pipes and imitation leather, polyisoprene which is natural rubber, and polypropylene used for food packaging and other applications. The project aims to study addition polymerization and how it is used to form common plastic materials through a repetitive addition reaction of monomers.

2.  AIM / BENEFITS OF THE TOPIC:
The aim of this micro project is to study the addition Polymerization monomers react to form a
polymer without the formation of the product.
 Course Outcomes:
From this project we will learn how to define addition polymerization with plastic. We will also
learn how to determine the structure of addition polymer.

3.  POLYMERIZATION- ADDITION
POLYMERS:
 ADDITION POLYMERS:
 A polymer formed by chain addition reaction between monomer units that are
repeatedly added to form long chain without the elimination of any by product
molecules.
 Monomers are usually the derivatives of alkenes General reaction is :
 n is number of monomers have value in hundred or even thousands
(100030000).

4. ❖EXAMPLES AND USES:
 POLYETHENE (Polythene):
 Polyethylene is one of most common
polymers, obtained by polymerizing
ethylene.
 Uses of Polyethene: Used to made
plastics bags, toys, household articles and
harder plastic objects such as milk crates.

5.  POLYVINYL CHORIDE (PVC):
 Polyvinyl chloride also known as PVC is
formed by addition polymerization of vinyl
chloride (H2C=CHCl).
 Uses of PVC:
 PVC is a hard resin, and is used to make plastic pipes,
rods and compact disc.
 PVC is extensively used for imitation leather, plastic
coats, floor covering & plastics squeeze bottles.

6.  POLYISOPRENE:
Polyisoprene is a polymer of isoprene and is better known as rubber. It is produced naturally
by rubber trees, but several variants have been developed which demonstrate improvements
on the properties of natural rubber.
• Polyisoprene is a polymer of isoprene and is better known as rubber.

7.  POLYPROPYLENE:
 Prepared by polymerization of
propylene using the Ziegler-Natta
type catalyst. Also, prepared in
isotactic, syndiotactic or atactic
form .
Uses of Polypropylene: In package films,
pipes, storage tanks, seat covers and ropes.

8.  APPLICATION OF THE TOPIC:
Manipulation of polymerization conduction is relatively simple.
Additives can easily we use and there is a board range of the Design possibilities.
Thin film coating is possible.
 CONCLUSION:
Thus, From this presentation we have learn about The Addition Polymerization,
their examples and uses, application.
