Which polymer is more flexible at room temperature: poly(methyl acrylate) (CAS# 9003-21-8) or poly(methyl methacrylate) (CAS# 9011-14-7)? Why? Use your knowledge of the relationship between polymer structure and its Tg to help explain and support your answer
What are the fundamental differences between a good solvent and a theta solvent, and how do they effect polymer configuration?
A sample of polystyrene is composed of a series of fractions of different sized molecules. a)Calculate the number average and weight average molecular weights of this sample as well as the PDI. Comment on the PDI – is it polydispersed? b)How would adding styrene oligomer change the average molecular weights? Added amount is 5 wt. % of polymer mass and M = 1,000 g/mol. c)What would be the potential polymerisation pathways you may follow to polymerise this polymer d)What would happen if you fractionate the polymer to remove all fractions above 20,000 Da and 50% of any fraction above 15,000 Da? Recalculate the Mn, Mw, and PDI for this new system. e)What type of polymeric materials does this distribution of Mw for the new system corresponds to? Would it be likely solid or liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure?
A. Why does acrylic acid polymerization under radical conditions work so well? Explain. B. Predict the impact of using the crosslinker shown below, instead of MBA, on the hardness/rigidity of the polymer. Explain.
Radical polymerization of styrene gives a linear polymer. Radical polymerization of a mixture of styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene gives a cross-linked network polymer of the type shown in Figure 29.1. Show by drawing structural formulas how incorporation of a few percent of 1,4-divinylbenzene in the polymerization mixture gives a cross-linked polymer.
