Chapter 28, Problem 59P

Melmac, a thermosetting polymer formed from melamine and formaldehyde ( CH 2 = O ) , is used to make dishes and countertops. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the condensation of one mole of formaldehyde with two moles of melamine, which begins the synthesis of Melmac.

Melmac, a thermosetting polymer formed from melamine and formaldehyde (CH2=O), is used to make dishes and countertops. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the condensation of one mole of formaldehyde with two moles of melamine, which begins the synthesis of Melmac.
The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PhOH) with CH2=O, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different.
Identify the class of polymer for each structure. Doct Structure A: Structure A is a: O polycarbonate polyester O polyurethane O polyamide Fotoy Structure B: Structure B is a: CH3 O polycarbonate O polyurethane polyamide O polyester
