Interpretation:
The structure of 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

- 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 togetherarrow_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.
