Draw a stepwise mechanism for the polymerization of isoprene to gutta-percha using (CH3)CO – OC(CH3)3 as the initiator.
Thermosetting resins similar to Bakelite have also been prepared from renewable feedstocks. One method uses cardinol, the major constituent of the liquid obtained from roasted cashew nutshells. What polymer is obtained when cardinol is treated with formaldehyde (H2C=O) in the presence of a proton source?

(b) More-comfortable softer contact lenses introduced in the 1970s were made by polymerizing hydroxyethyl methacrylate [CH2=C(CH3)CO2CH2CH2OH] to form poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). Draw the structure of poly-HEMA. Because neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.arrow_forward
