Question
Chapter 15, Problem 35P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The synthesis of head to head poly vinyl bromide should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as
Two types of polymers:
- Synthetic and biopolymers.
- DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
- Polymers synthesized by scientists are called
synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.
Two types of synthetic polymers:
- Chain-growth
polymers or addition polymers and Step-growthpolymers or Condensation polymers. - Chain growth polymers are formed by the monomer addition to the end of a growing chain.
- Step-growth polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.
- Polymers formed from two or more different monomers are called copolymers.
- Classified into alternating copolymer, block copolymer, graft copolymer and also random copolymer.

A catalyst is added to promote polymerization in the mold. The material has many useful properties, but is deficient in heat and solvent resistance. A proposal is made to improve heat and solvent resistance by adding a tetrafunctional monomer (A4) to the mix to provide crosslinks. Unfortunately, no one in-house knows if this will work, or if the added A4 will form a gel, so they call you in as a consultant.
