Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thestructure of a polymer of acrylic acid needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are macromolecules which are composed of a large number of small repeating units. These repeating units are called monomers and the process of formation of polymers from monomer units is called polymerization.

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 alkene leads to the formation of polyalkenes.

Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2, etc. These polymerizations occur with the elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2, etc.

Drawing the Structure of a Polymer Formed from a Monomer What polymer is formed when CH2=CHCO2H (acrylic acid) is polymerized to form poly(acrylic acid)?
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. Draw the structure of PLA
dacron is the brand name for the polymer that is made from ethane-1,2-diol and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid. what is the name for the linkages that join the monomers together
