Question
Chapter 27, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for configuration of a polymer of isobutylene is neither isotactic, syndiotactic, nor atactic has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as
Two types of polymers:
- Synthetic and biopolymers.
- DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
- Polymers synthesized by scientists are called
synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.
Isotactic polymer: Substituents will be on the same side of the chain.
Syndiotactic polymer: Substituents will be on the alternate side of the chain.
Atactic polymer: Substituents will be randomly oriented.

11c. Nylon 6 and poly(ε-caprolactone) have similar polymer backbone structure with one carbonyl, 5 methylene and a heteroatom, nitrogen or oxygen, respectively. Each is able to undergo crystallization. However, their thermal transition temperature differs significantly. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for Nylon 6 is 52 °C, whereas the Tg for poly(εcaprolactone) is 112 degree lower than Nylon 6 at – 60 °C. Similarly, the melting temperature (Tm) for Nylon 6 is 223 °C, whereas the Tm for poly(εcaprolactone) is 60 °C. Briefly explain the significant differences in the thermal properties of these two polymers.
