D) Ziegler-Natta polymer

Cellulose

A polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units, a primary structural component of plant cell walls.

Step-Growth Polymer

A type of polymerization where growth occurs through stepwise chemical reactions between monomers, oligomers, and/or polymers.

  • Distinguish and group various polymers according to their types.
