Copolymers are those polymers that consist of more than one monomeric repeating unit. Copolymerisation is a process of reacting a mixture of more than one monomeric species and form a copolymer. The copolymer can be made not only by chain growth polymerisation but by step growth polymerisation also. For example, a mixture of 1, 3 – butadiene and styrene forms Buna-S and 1-3 – butadiene and acrylonitrile form Buna-N.
