Starting only with materials isolated directly from petroleum or from
mining (can use air, water, radical initiators, and acid without showing
the source), sketch the reactions to show the synthesis of polycarbon-
ate. When you write the final polymer structure, make sure you use the
parentheses correctly.
13.
Write the structure, making sure you use the parentheses correctly, of a
polyimide.
14.
Polyurethanes are often made by reaction injection molding of two com-
ponents. One component is the alcohol component and is typically a
mixture of diols with triols or polyols. What is the other major compo-
nent? Give both the name and the generalized structure.
15.
This is made by a high temperature high pressure radical polymerization
of ethylene.
a.
HDPE
b.
LDPE
c.
LLDPE
d.
EEA
16.
This is made by using an organometallic catalyst and polymerizing ethy-
lene with enough 1-hexene to adjust the density to 0.92.
