Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To draw the segmental structure of (nylon 10, 10), and determine its monomer units.

Concept introduction:

Nylon 10, 10 is a type of step growth polymer. It is formed by the reaction of sebacic acid and 1, 10 decanediamine. A step growth polymerization is a condensation polymerization. It is a stepwise process in which each new bond is formed in every new step.

In the case of condensation polymerization, two monomer units combine with the loss of a small molecule to form a polymer. In addition polymerization, the rearrangement of the double and single bonds occurs.

A step growth polymerization reaction is a process in which the reaction takes place between bi-functional or multifunctional monomers to give rise high molecular weight compound.

An easy way to visualize step growth polymerization is:
