The monomers of Kevlar with the structure of Nomex polymer are to be drawn and the differences in their structures are to be stated. Concept introduction: Polymer is defined as a substance made up of large number of units bonded together. A single unit is known as monomer. Polymers are formed mainly by two types of reactions namely, addition reactions and condensation polymerization reactions. The condensation polymerization reactions are defined as the reaction in which two or more monomers combine together to form a single molecule with an elimination of small molecules like water. To determine: The monomers of Kevlar polymer.

Solution Summary: The author explains that monomers of Kevlar and Nomex polymer are to be drawn and the differences in their structures will be stated.
Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
