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
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:
