The polyester can be mixed with additional phthalic anhydride (0.5 mole of phthalic anhydride for each mole of 1,2,3-propanetriol in the original polyester) to form a liquid resin. When this resin is heated, it forms a hard, insoluble thermosetting polyester called glyptal.
Q.) Account for the fact that glyptal is a thermosetting plastic.
Explain with more details, how you can prepare poly(ethylene oxide) by using Anionic and Cationic polymerisation
Bakelite, a durable plastic used for the casing of early radios and TVs, was the first of the thermosetting polymers. It is a highly cross-linked polymer formed from the acid-catalyzed polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde. Because it is much darker than Melmac, Bakelite’s range of colors is limited. Propose a structure for Bakelite.
