Abstract ‘Comb-like polymers’ are a special class of polymers. These are consisting of two types of
chains, first one is the backbone chain and second is long side chains. The structure of such
a polymer is very similar to hair comb. Usually, every monomer unit in the backbone has a long
n-alkyl side chain. Comb like polymers have an intrinsic ability towards forming ordered structure.
Now-a-days, these polymers find wide range of applications because of their excellent physicochemical properties. Some applications are in preparation of polysoaps (polymeric disinfectants),
as dispersing agent for ink and paints, textile More >
