Which of the following statement/s is/are true for free radicalic polymerization? I. It involves three fundamental steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. II. Initiation of free radical polymerization is brought about by the addition of small quantities of compounds called initiators. III. Sometimes a fourth step called chain transfer may be involved. IV. In termination, the initiated monomer described above adds other monomers – usually thousands of monomer molecules – in rapid succession. I, Il and IV A B II, II and IV I, Il and III I, Il and IV
Addition (chain-growth) polymerization reactions often terminate by combination or disproportionation. However, there is another class of deactivation reactions, called chain transfer reactions, which are usually relevant to the final degree of polymerization (dp). How might you expect the dp of a polymerization reaction deactivated by chain transfer compare/contrast with polymerizations terminated by combination or disproportionation?

Why a particular polymerization reaction shows an exponential increase in reaction rate? Explain that polymerization reaction mechanism with suitable examples.
7. When asymmetric alkenes polymerize (such as chloroethene to produce PVC), the pendant group like chlorine can be arranged in different ways. An arrangement in which the -Cl groups are arranged on the same side of the polymer chain is called a(n) , a. Atactic b. Isotactic arrangement. c. Syndiotactic d. Sporadic 8. Kevlar is a type of polymer which has a great resistance to tear. Its application includes its use in making bulletproof vests and radial tires. The two monomers used to make Kevlar are the following: H H H-O- c-0-H H-N- -N-H Monomer One Monomer Two When these two monomers join a. A molecule of CO2 will be eliminated and an ester linkage will form b. Nothing will be eliminated and the two monomers will be linked through a hydrogen to hydrogen bond c. A water molecule will be eliminated and a peptide linkage will be formed d. Nothing will be eliminated. The two monomers will be linked by a carbon-carbon bond.
Use mechanisms to show how monomers polymerize under acidic, basic, orfree-radical conditions. For chain-growth polymerization, determine whether the reactive end is more stable as a cation (acidic conditions), anion (basic conditions), or free radical (radical initiator). For step-growth polymerization, consider the mechanism of the condensation.
4. In the condensation polymerization of stoichiometric dicarboxylic acid and diol catalyzed by externally added acids, what is the number averaged degree of polymerization when the reaction proceeds to 98% extent? How about 99%? Prove that the time needed to for the reaction to proceed from 0-98% is similar to that of 98-99%.
2. Obtain an equation describing how the degree of polymerization, which represents the average number of monomer residues in each polymer molecule, changes with time in a condensation polymerization reaction. In this scenario, the reaction follows a rate law given by d[M]/dt = -k[M]3, where [M] signifies the monomer concentration.
Research in the “unzipping” of poly(vinyl chloride) indicates that certain defects in the polymer contribute to the rate of unzipping. These defects are arrangements of atoms that are different from the arrangements in the repeating unit shown in the condensed formula. Researchers have found that defects involving allylic chlorides and tertiary chlorides, specifically, promote the reaction. Review the mechanism for the unzipping and explain this observation.

What kinds of ions govern alkylation and polymerization reactions and how they are initiated?
d) Early in the polymerization at lower conversion of the MVK monomer, the polymer chains formed are primarily linear. However, close to the end of the reaction, as most of the monomer is consumed, branched polymers may start to appear. Propose a possible rationale for the formation of branched polymer structures (hint: consider the types of termination reactions that may compete with polymerization when only little monomer is still present). 로 3 3 linear vs. branched
