Question
1. For polyphosphazene shown below, it has the number of repeat units N= 7500 and length I
=1.53 Å.
Polyphosphazene
R
Calculate the following
a) Contour length
b) <R?>12 for a freely-jointed chain
c) <R?>12 for a free-rotation chain
d) <R?>12 for a restricted-rotation chain
Assume that the bond angle is the average of different bond angles (i.e., average over the P-N=P
and N=P-N bonds) in the polymer backbone, and <cosq> = 0.56.
