What is the basic mechanism of an Anionic polymer (acrylic acid based as carbomers) in regards to function and “activation”? How do they work and thicken?
Macromolecules can also be formed from cyclic monomers such as cyclic hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, amides, siloxanes, and sulfur (eight-membered ring). Thus, ring-opening polymerization is of particular interest, since macromolecules of almost any chemical structure can be prepared. Choose two of the above type polymers to explain the mechanism and chemical reaction of polymerization process.

- Methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate react with radical initiators (R•) as shown here. The difference in their reactivities in free radical polymerizations is dramatic. For example, methyl acrylate is less reactive with radicals than methyl methacrylate, but free radicals formed from methyl acrylate are more reactive than those formed from methyl methacrylate. In other words, C is more reactive than A, and B is more reactive than D. Explain these observations. Hint: Draw an energy diagram H H R• R-C C• H c=0 H CH3 CH3 Methyl acrylate for the two reactions.
