Interpretation:
Thestructure of a polymer of acrylic acid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
On the basis of type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some

- What monomer is needed to form each polymer? COOEt COOEt cOOEt Et = CH,CH3 polyisobutylene (used to make basketballs) poly(ethyl acrylate) (used in latex paints)arrow_forward1. Formaldehyde (methanal: H2C=0) can be polymerized to produce Delrin (polyoxymethylene), a strong and easily molded plastic. Write a chemical reaction that shows the formation of this polymer.arrow_forwardGlyptal® resin makes a strong, solid polymer matrix for electronic parts. Glyptal is made from terephthalic acid and glycerol. Draw the structure of Glyptal, and explain its remarkable strength and rigidity.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of polystyrene, which is formed by polymerizing the monomer styrene, C6H5CH=CH2. What monomer is used to form poly(vinyl acetate), a polymer used in paints and adhesives?arrow_forwardPoly(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.arrow_forwardPoly(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 further discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 28.) Draw the structure of PLA.arrow_forward
- HHR Polystyrene (#6 plastic) CH=CH;arrow_forward12. A way to produce a highly cross-linked polyester is to use glycerol. Alkyd resins are a polymer of this type. The polymer forms tough coatings when baked onto a surface and is in used in automobile paints and large appliances. Draw the structure of the polymer formed from the condensation of one glycerol and three phthalic acid molecules: H₂C-CH-CH₂ COH OH OH OH + сон Glycerol phthalic acidarrow_forward
