Concept introduction:
The ring-opening metathesis polymerization comes under the category of olefin metathesis chain-growth polymerization. In this polymerization technique, the reaction between a cycloalkene and a metal catalyst takes place that forms the polymer containing both single and double bonds.

- Radical polymerization of styrene gives a linear polymer. Radical polymerization of a mixture of styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene gives a cross-linked network polymer of the type shown in Figure 29.1. Show by drawing structural formulas how incorporation of a few percent of 1,4-divinylbenzene in the polymerization mixture gives a cross-linked polymer.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the polymer that results from anionic polymerization of p-trichloromethylstyrene (CCl3C6H4CH =CH2) using ethylene oxide as the electrophile to terminate the chain.arrow_forwardOne common type of cation exchange resin is prepared by polymerization of a mixture containing styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene . The polymer is then treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to sulfonate a majority of the aromatic rings in the polymer. Q.) Show the product of sulfonation of each benzene ring.arrow_forward
- Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.arrow_forwardPlease show the product and mechanism for the cationic polymerization of 2-butene using BF3/H2O to catalyze polymerization. Do you expect this to be an effective polymerization strategy for this monomer? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPolyisobutylene is one of the components of butyl rubber used for making inner tubes. What conditions (cationic, anionic, free-radical) would be most appropriate for polymerization of isobutylene? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Give an introduction to step-growth polymers:arrow_forwardHigh pressure, high temperature free-radical polymerization of ethylene produces a) HDPE b) LDPE c) PP d) LLDPEarrow_forwardA sample of polystyrene is composed of a series of fractions of different sized molecules. a)Calculate the number average and weight average molecular weights of this sample as well as the PDI. Comment on the PDI – is it polydispersed? b)How would adding styrene oligomer change the average molecular weights? Added amount is 5 wt. % of polymer mass and M = 1,000 g/mol. c)What would be the potential polymerisation pathways you may follow to polymerise this polymer d)What would happen if you fractionate the polymer to remove all fractions above 20,000 Da and 50% of any fraction above 15,000 Da? Recalculate the Mn, Mw, and PDI for this new system. e)What type of polymeric materials does this distribution of Mw for the new system corresponds to? Would it be likely solid or liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure?arrow_forward
