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. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
Novolac is the linear polymer which on heating with formaldehyde forms cross-linked bakelite.
Write the structures of monomers and the polymer novolac.
1) Draw the structure for the polymer (repeat unit only) produced from the monomer vinylidene
dichloride (CH₂=CCl₂).
2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used
extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased
source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from
petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is
2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5-
furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.

- During our lectures on polymeric materials, I used polyethylene as an example because of its very straightforward structure. (a.) Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as an initiator for the polymerization of ethylene. Draw a diagram of a dissociated hydrogen peroxide molecule which emphasizes the creation of two free radicals (unbonded electrons) that can serve as initiators or as terminators of polymerization.arrow_forward(a) Hard contact lenses, which first became popular in the 1960s, were made by polymerizing methyl methacrylate [CH2 = C(CH3)CO2CH3] to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

(b) More comfortable softer contact lenses introduced in the 1970s were made by polymerizing hydroxyethyl methacrylate [CH2 = C(CH3)CO2CH2CH2OH] to form poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). Draw the structure of poly-HEMA. Since neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.arrow_forward
