Chapter 13.8, Problem 13.22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The monomer unit of poly(vinyl acetate), a polymer in paints and adhesives should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

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

On the basis of type of polymers, the polymerization reaction can be of two types, i.e., 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.
