Propose a mechanism for the reaction of phenyl isocyanate with methanol.
Glyptal®resin makes a strong, solid polymer matrix for electronic parts. Glyptal is made from terephthalic acid and glycerol. Draw the structure of Glyptal and explain its remarkable strength and rigidity.
The polyester named LactomerRis an alternating copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid. Lactomer is used for absorbable suture material because stitches of Lactomer hydrolyze slowly over a two-week period and do not have to be removed. The hydrolysis products, lactic acid and glycolic acid, are normal metabolites and do not provoke an inflammatory response. Draw the structure of the Lactomer polymer.

(a) Nomex®, a strong fire-resistant fabric, is a polyamide made from meta-phthalic acid and meta-diaminobenzene. Draw the structure of Nomex.
(b) Kevlar®, made from terephthalic acid (para-phthalic acid) and para-diaminobenzene, is used in making tire cord and bulletproof vests. Draw the structure of Kevlar.
. (a) Draw the structure of gutta-percha, a natural rubber with all its double bonds in the trans configuration.
(b) Suggest why gutta-percha is not very elastic, even after it is vulcanized.
