About copolymer plastic

When two different types of monomers are joined in the same polymer chain, the polymer is called a copolymer. When the two monomers are arranged in an alternating fashion, the polymer is called, of course, an alternating copolymer. In a random copolymer, the two monomers may follow in any order.In a block copolymer, all of one type of monomer are grouped together, and all of the other are grouped together. A block copolymer can be thought of as two homopolymers joined together at the ends. A block copolymer you know very well, that is if you wear shoes, is SBS rubber. It's used for the soles of shoes and for tire treads, too. When chains of a polymer made of monomer B are grafted onto a polymer chain of monomer A we have a graft copolymer. One kind of graft copolymer is high-impact polystyrene, or HIPS for short. It is a polystyrene backbone with chains of polybutadiene grafted onto the backbone. The polystyrene gives the material strength, but the rubbery polybutadiene chains give it resilience to make it less brittle.
