never saw this polymer
all i can say that it is formed using H0-CH2-OH
and one of the end is terminated using CH3-OH
it is a step growth condensation polymer whose formation is accompanied by elimination of water
it is a homopolymer and maybe a elastomer
Q1 why vinyl alcohol is not directly polymerised to form poly vinyl alcohol ???
Q2what type of polymer is this ??
-CH2 -O -[CH2 - O -] -

cos elimination of water to form etheral linkages will be favoured over addition by free radical mech

ans 2...PEG usage and anion mechanism,,,,,the oxygen from the oxirane ring helps in increasing chain length !
