Types of Polymers on the basis of Method of Preparation

Question

Explain why acrylonitrile (CH2 = CHCN) undergoes cationic polymerization more slowly than but-3-enenitrile (CH2 = CHCH2CN).

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.

Discuss TWO (2) most important differences between addition and stepgrowth polymerizations.
(a) Hard contact lenses, which first became popular in the 1960s, were made by polymerizing methyl methacrylate [CH2 = C(CH3)CO2CH3] to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Draw the structure of PMMA. (b) More comfortable softer contact lenses introduced in the 1970s were made by polymerizing hydroxyethyl methacrylate [CH2 = C(CH3)CO2CH2CH2OH] to form poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). Draw the structure of poly-HEMA. Since neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.

When polyethylene is made by free radical polymerization, the resulting polymer has a significant amount of branching, resulting in low-density polyethylene (see Section 26.9a). When styrene undergoes free radical polymerization, on the other hand, very little branching occurs. Explain this phenomenon.
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
