Polymers are made up of small molecules called monomers. Polymers which are formed by one type of monomer called homopolymers and which are formed by more than one type of monomers are called co-polymers. Natural polymers are biodegradable whereas systhetic polymers may or may not be. Addition or chain growth polymerization involves the repeated addition of monomers to the polymer chain. The monomers are unsaturated compounds and this type of polymerization takes placed by ionic (cationic or anionic) as well as free radical a series of condensation reactions between the monomers. Each monomer normally contains two functional groups. Branch chain polymers may be condensation polymers or addition but cross linked polymers are always condensation polymers.

911.

Arrange the polymers in order of their increasing intermolecular forces: (1). Nylon 6, 6, Buna-S, polyethylene, (2). Nylon 6, neoprene, polyvinyl chloride

Answer» Buna-S and neoprene are elastomers. On the other hand, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, nylon 6 and nylon 6, 6 are thermoplastic polymers. Intermolecular forces of attraction in elastomer are weaker than those in thermoplastic polymers. Nylon 6 and nylon 6, 6 are polar in nature. Molecular chains in these two polymers are held by hydrogen bondings. Because of this, intermolecular forces of attraction in nylon 6 or nylon 6, 6 are stronger than those in polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. Therefore, in case of (1), the order will be: Buna-S lt polyethylene lt nylon 6, 6 and in case of (2), it will be neoprene lt polyvinyl chloride lt nylon 6.

How does the presence of double bonds in rubber molecules influence their structure and reactivity?

Answer»

From the structural point of view, the natural rubber is a linear cis-1, 4-poly isoprene. In this polymer, the double bonds are located between C2 and C3 of isoprene units. This cisconfiguration about double bonds do not allow the chains to come closer for effective attraction due to weak inter molecular attractions. Hence, the natural rubber has a coiled structure and shows elasticity.
