Polymer Technology

The techniques used in polymerization depend upon following factors:

1. Physical form of reactants; gas, liquid or solid.
2. Solvents used
3. Type of polymerization mechanism
4. Required physical form of polymer; solid, emulsion, solution

These factors lead to different polymerization techniques.

1. Bulk Polymerization
2. Solution polymerization
3. Suspension polymerization
4. Emulsion polymerization
5. Melt polycondensation
6. Solution polycondensation
7. Interfacial Condensation
8. Solid and Gas Phase polymerization
