Polymerisation of vinyl cyanide with peroxide catalyst forms _______

Polymerisation of vinyl cyanide with peroxide catalyst forms _______ Correct Answer PAN

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a polymerised product of acrylonitrile (vinyl cyanide) in the presence of a peroxide catalyst. Vinyl cyanide can be prepared by treating ethyne with HCN in the presence of Ba(CN)2 catalyst. PAN is used for making orlon and acrilan.
