The copolymers are a type of polymers that have been derived from more than one type of monomer. The phenomenon in which the monomers polymerize with each other to form copolymers is termed copolymerization.
When the copolymerization takes place due to two, three, and four monomers, the resultant copolymers are then known as bipolymers, terpolymers, and quaterpolymers respectively. The units present in the copolymer are arranged in the form of a straight linear chain as well as in the form of a branched structure.
Example of Copolymers:
Examples of commercially available copolymers include acronitrile butadiene styrene, nitril rubber, nylon 12, etc.
