Polymerization Lab Report 2

Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.

The polyamide structure shown below provides lightweight, heat and flame resistant performance for many extreme applications like fife fighting and law enforcement. Write a polymerization equation for this polyamide including the structures of monomers that can be used to synthesize it

Polymers may be composed of thousands of monomers. Draw three repeat units (trimer) of the polymer formed in this reaction. Assume there are hydrogen atoms on the two ends of the trimer. Ignore inorganic byproducts. PhC(O)OOC(O)Ph (BPO) (radical initiator)

Molecular weight data for some polymer are tabulated here.

Please don't provide handwritten solution

Both monomers needed for the synthesis of Nylon 6,6 can be prepared from 1,4- dichlorobutane. How would you prepare the two monomers from 1,4-dichlobutane? Don't forget to show the product from each step of the synthesis. C1 ????? ????? H₂N HO NH₂ OH
