Talk:Polymerization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok, I'm going to be writing a new article on celluloid, and just as an fyi, celluloid is NOT just nitrocellulose. Minimally, it's nitrocellulose (70-80 parts) plus camphor (30 parts or so), plus dyes (0-14 parts), plus ethyl alcohol (1-5 parts), plus all the other extras that get put into plastics. Dwmyers.

[edit] previous edit disputed

Last edit removed for the following reasons: Addition polymerization and step-growth polymerization do not refer to the way monomer feed is added to a polymerisation. interfacial and emulsion polymerisation do no represent a means of polymerisation (molecular mechanism) but reflect a set of reaction conditions. radical / cationic / anionic polymerisation belong to the class of addition polymerisation and not step growth. Consult the separate articles addition polymerization and step-growth polymerization . Also, living polymerization can only be archieved with very special reaction conditions. Coordinated polymerization belongs to addition polymerisation. It is always a good idea to include references in an article like ref 1. for this article any book on introduction to polymer chemistry will do.

I don't mind that my changes were reverted. If I add these ideas back in, I'll be sure to provide references. HappyCamper 17:58, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
