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?
Polystyrene is produced commercially by reaction of styrene with butyllithium as an anionic initiator. Using resonance structures, explain how the chain-carrying intermediate is stabilized
Devise a synthesis of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, the two monomers needed for polyethylene terephthalate synthesis, from the given starting materials.
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
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?
Explain with more details, how you can prepare poly(ethylene oxide) by using Anionic and Cationic polymerisation
Urylon fibers are used in premium fishing nets because the polymer is relatively stable to UV light and aqueous acid and base. Urylon has the structure shown. Is Urylon a chain-growth polymer or a step-growth polymer?
Delrin (polyoxymethylene) is a tough self-lubricating polymer used in gear wheels. It is made by polymerizing formaldehyde in the presence of an acidcatalyst. Is Delrin a chain-growth polymer or a step-growth polymer?
The polymer shown below is synthesized by hydroxide ion-promoted hydrolysis of a copolymer of para-nitrophenyl methacrylate and acrylate. a. Propose a mechanism for the formation of the copolymer. b. Explain why hydrolysis of the copolymer to form the polymer occurs much more rapidly than hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl acetate.
Saponified polyvinyl acetate can be reacted with butanal to produce an impact-resistant polymer. What polymer is formed? Name it correctly in the nomenclature and generally assess the possible density of functionalization in such special polymer-analogous modifications.
One common type of cation exchange resin is prepared by polymerization of a mixture containing styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene . The polymer is then treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to sulfonate a majority of the aromatic rings in the polymer. Q.) Show the product of sulfonation of each benzene ring.
