Which polymerization process typically involves the opening of cyclic monomers to form linear polymers?
A
Addition Polymerization
B
Condensation Polymerization
C
Ionic Polymerization
D
Ring-Opening Polymerization
correct option: d
Ring-opening polymerization is a specialised process where cyclic monomers (e.g., lactones, cyclic ethers) undergo cleavage of the ring structure to form linear polymer chains. This process is used to produce various important polymers like polyethene oxide and polylactide.
