(b)
Interpretation: The structure of polymer formed from p-dioxanone is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The repeated bonding of monomer units lead to the formation of polymer. They are mainly synthesized through condensation or addition reaction of monomer units. However, two or more monomers units that have different structure leads to the formation of copolymer.

- Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is produced from poly(vinyl acetate) by converting the acetate groups into hydroxyl groups (Section 26.6a.1). As the number of hydroxyl groups in PVA increases, the solubility of the polymer in water decreases.
