Question
Chapter 27, Problem 43P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the graft polymer obtained by the given reaction 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.

An alternating copolymer of styrene and vinyl acetate can be turned into a graft copolymer by hydrolyzing it and then adding ethylene oxide. Draw the structure of the graft copolymer.
Which polymer is more apt to contain abnormal head-to-head linkages: poly(vinyl chloride) or polystyrene?
When two monomers (X and Y) are polymerized together, a copolymer results. An alternating copolymer is formed when the two monomers X and Y alternate regularly in the polymer chain. Draw the structure of the alternating copolymer formed when the two monomers, CH2 ≡ CCl2 and CH2 = CHC6H5, are polymerized together.
