All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeThe smoking salons of the Hindenburg and other hydrogen-filled dirigibles of the 1930s were insulated with urea–formaldehyde polymer foams. The structure of this polymer is highly cross-linked, like that of Bakelite (Section 31-6). Propose a structure.
Vinylidene chloride, H2C = CHCl, does not polymerize in isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic forms. Explain.
2-Ethyl-1-hexanol, used in the synthesis of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate plasticizer, is made commercially from butanal. Show the likely synthesis route.
1,3-Cyclopentadiene undergoes thermal polymerization to yield a polymer that has no double bonds in the chain. Upon strong heating, the polymer breaks down to generate cyclopentadiene. Propose a structure of the polymer.
Poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, is a polyester used to make soft-drink bottles. It is prepared by reaction of ethylene glycol with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (terephthalic acid). Draw the structure of PET.
