Get started for freeWhat polymer is formed by the anionic polymerization of each monomer?
(a.)
(b.)
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the anionic polymerization of styrene to form polystyrene using BuLi as an initiator. Use CO2 as the electrophile that terminates the chain mechanism.
Question:Kevlar (Section 30.6A) is a very stiff polymer because its backbone contains many aromatic rings and its polymer chains are extensively hydrogen bonded to each other. Draw a short segment of two Kevlar chains, and indicate how the chains are hydrogen bonded to each other.
Devise a synthesis of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, the two monomers needed for polyethylene terephthalate synthesis, from the given starting materials.
Why can’t chemical recycling—that is, the conversion of polymer to monomers and re-conversion of monomers to polymer—be done easily with HDPE and LDPE?
