3)Chain propogation step: The radical formed in above step ,attacks another
monomer to give new radical. This process continiuos and growth of polymer chain
occurs

ELASTOMERS
Are the polymers which elongates on stretching and regain their original shape on
leaving.
Ex :Rubber is an example of elastomer
A linear polymer can be converted into rubber if it meets following characteristics
1)It should posses glass transition temperature less than working temperature of
rubber.
2)Possibility of cross linking should be there to get required rigidity.
3)Long chains should be geometrically irregular , so that coiling can takes place on
thermal agitation.
