Question
Chapter 28.2, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason as to why styrene
Concept introduction: The simpler units which combine to form
Chain-growth polymerization is formed by the repetitive addition of monomer units containing double or triple bonds. If the monomer units undergoing addition are the same, the polymer is known as

Explain why styrene (CH2=CHPh) can be polymerized to polystyrene by all three methods of chain-growth polymerization.
Poly(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. (A further discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 28.) Draw the structure of PLA.
