    Introduction
    Bulk polymerization is carried out in the absence of any solvent
    or dispersant and is thus the simplest in terms of formulation. It
    is used for most step-growth polymers and many types of chain-
    growth polymers. In the case of chain-growth reactions, which
    are generally exothermic, the heat evolved may cause the
    reaction to become too vigorous and difficult to control unless
    efficient cooling coils are installed in the reaction vessel. Bulk
    polymerizations are also difficult to stir because of the high
    viscosity, associated with high-molecular-weight polymers.
    Apparatus used :

     Balance
     round bottom flask
     beaker
     watch glass
     condenser
     heater and magnetic stirrer
     water bath and thermometer
