What polymer is formed by the anionic polymerization of each monomer?
(a.)
(b.)
Draw the structures of Quiana and Nomex, two commercially available step-growth polymers formed from the given monomers. Nomex is a strong polymer used in aircraft tires and microwave transformers. Quiana has been used to make wrinkle-resistant fabrics.

(b.)
In the presence of , 2-methylpropene oxide undergoes chain-growth polymerization such that nucleophilic attack occurs at the more substituted end of the epoxide. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this process, and explain this regioselectivity.

Explain why aqueous NaOH solution can be stored indefinitely in polyethylene bottles, but spilling aqueous base on a polyester shirt or nylon stockings quickly makes a hole.
Explain why diester A is now often used as a plasticizer in place of dibutyl phthalate.
