A boron-siloxane cross linked polymer was formed from the reaction between dichlorodimethylsilane in diethyl ether with deionised water. Which was neutralised with sodium bicarbonate solution before being turned into a polymer upon the addition of boric acid. What is the structure of the polymer synthesised and what is the molecular weight of one monomer unit of this boron-siloxane cross linked polymer if the functional groups present in the molecule are; boron, hydroxyl, methyl and siloxane groups. Please draw.

Poly(butylene terephthalate) is a hydrophobic plastic material widely used in automotive ignition systems. Suggest what monomers might be used to synthesize this polymer and how the polymerization might beaccomplished.
Polyisobutylene is one of the components of butyl rubber used for making inner tubes. What conditions (cationic, anionic, free-radical) would be most appropriate for polymerization of isobutylene? Explain your answer.
When styrene (vinylbenzene) is commercially polymerized, about 1–3% of 1,4-divinylbenzene is often added to thestyrene. The incorporation of some divinylbenzene gives a polymer with more strength and better resistance to organicsolvents. Explain how a very small amount of divinylbenzene has a marked effect on the properties of the polymer
Give a mechanism, showing chain branching during the free-radical polymerization of styrene. There are two types of aliphatic hydrogens in the polystyrene chain. Which type is more likely to be abstracted?
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?
Poly(vinyl alcohol), a hydrophilic polymer used in aqueous adhesives, is made by polymerizing vinyl acetate and then hydrolyzing the ester linkages. We have seen that basic hydrolysis destroys the Dacron polymer. Poly(vinyl acetate) is converted to poly(vinyl alcohol) by a basic hydrolysis of the ester groups. Why doesn’t the hydrolysis destroy the poly(vinyl alcohol)polymer?
