- What is the polymer name of propene ?arrow_forwardWhen rubber balls and other objects made of natural rubber are exposed to air for long periods, they turn brittle and crack. Explain why this happens more slowly to objects made of polyethylene.arrow_forwardGive an example of an ester polymer and cite its usearrow_forward
- Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. Draw the structure of PLAarrow_forwardThe monomers -(CH2)-C-OH and H2N- -NH2 но- would react with each other to form a polycarbonate a polyamide a polyesterarrow_forwardwhich monomer makes up this polymerarrow_forward
- 1. Draw the structure of the monomer that is responsible for the following polymer: -CH,-CH-arrow_forwardWhat is the process by which monomers are joined together to form polymers? What is removed from the monomers during the reaction (what comes out of the reaction)?arrow_forwardPolymer molecular weight dictates the properties of polymer materials. Show this effect using poly(ethylene ).arrow_forward
- When the polytetrafluoroethylene polymer is exposed to high temperature for a long time,Write the root cause of the phenomenon of depolymerizationarrow_forwardPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.arrow_forwardCan you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.arrow_forward
