Provide the mechanism for the step-growth polymerization of citric acid and ethylene glycol to form poly (ethylene glycol)-citrate. Show all steps.
Draw the structure of the polymer formed by chain-growthpolymerization of each monomer
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) is a linear polyester that can be synthesized from the condensation polymerization between terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, as shown previously in Equation 26-27. What alcohol would you react with terephthalic acid to produce a branched polyester? Draw a portion of the resulting polymer that shows a main chain and one branching point.
