Get started for freeBakelite, a durable plastic used for the casing of early radios and TVs, was the first of the thermosetting polymers. It is a highly cross-linked polymer formed from the acid-catalyzed polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde. Because it is much darker than Melmac, Bakelite’s range of colors is limited. Propose a structure for Bakelite.
Draw a short segment of the polymer formed from cationic polymerization of 3,3-dimethyloxacyclobutane.
Draw a segment of a polymer (containing three monomers) that forms from the anionic polymerization of the compound shown below.
The following two compounds form a 1: 1 alternating copolymer. No initiator is needed for the polymerization. Propose a mechanism for the formation of the copolymer.
Explain why, when propylene oxide undergoes anionic polymerization, nucleophilic attack occurs at the less substituted carbon of the epoxide, but when it undergoes cationic polymerization, nucleophilic attack occurs at the more substituted carbon.
