Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
Based on the techniques involved in preparation of polymers, it can be classified as
Addition polymer is formed when the monomers undergoes addition reaction. These polymers are formed when the bonds in monomers undergoes rearrangement without loss of atom/molecule. This addition reaction takes place under pressure, heat or in presence of some catalyst.
Condensation polymer is formed when the monomers with two different

Chemistry In Context
- Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.arrow_forwardA high-molecular-weight polyethylene has an average molecular weight of 310000. 1. What is the monomer's molecular weight? NOTE: The molecular weight of carbon is 12 g · mol−1, and the molecular weight of hydrogen is 1 g · mol¯1. 2. What is its average degree of polymerization, DP? DP = Aarrow_forwardPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.arrow_forward
