Concept introduction: In Step-growth
The polymers which can be melted and moulded to different shapes on heating are thermoplastic polymers. The highly crossed linked polymers which cannot be melted and moulded to different shapes are thermosetting polymers.

- Kodel is a condensation polymer made from terphthalic acid and 1,4-cyclohexandethanol. Write the structure of the resulting polymer.arrow_forwardWhat monomer is needed to form each polymer? COOEt COOEt cOOEt Et = CH,CH3 polyisobutylene (used to make basketballs) poly(ethyl acrylate) (used in latex paints)arrow_forwardWhat polymer is formed when methyl α-methylacrylate [CH 2 C(CH 3)CO2CH 3] is polymerized? This polymer is used in Lucite and Plexiglas, transparent materials that are lighter but more impact resistant than glass.arrow_forward
- Maleic anhydride reacts with ethylene glycol to produce an alkyd resin. Draw the structure of the condensation polymer produced.arrow_forwarddacron is the brand name for the polymer that is made from ethane-1,2-diol and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid. what is the name for the linkages that join the monomers togetherarrow_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_forward
- What is polymer? and polymerize lactic acidarrow_forwardWhat two monomers are needed to prepare each polymer?arrow_forwardA particularly strong and rigid polyester used for electronic parts is marketed under the trade name Glyptal. It is a polymer of terephthalic acid and glycerol. Draw a segment of the polymer and explain why it is so strong.arrow_forward
- Drawing the Structure of a Polymer Formed from a Monomer What polymer is formed when CH2=CHCO2H (acrylic acid) is polymerized to form poly(acrylic acid)?arrow_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 further discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 28.) Draw the structure of PLA.arrow_forwardexplain the process by which alkenes begin the polymerization process, and how the process continues explain why the bonds of polymers made from alkenes are so stable.arrow_forward
