Chain branching is not as common with anionic polymerization as it is with free-radical polymerization and cationic polymerization.
Bisphenol A is made on a large scale by a condensation of phenol with acetone. Suggest an appropriate catalyst, and propose a mechanism for this reaction. (Hint: This is a condensation because three molecules are joined with loss of water. The mechanism belongs to another class of reactions though.)
(a) Isobutylene and isoprene coplymerize to give 鈥渂utyl rubber鈥. Draw the structure of the repeating unit in butyl rubber, assuming that the two monomers alternate.
(b) Styrene and butadiene copolymerize to form styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) for automobile tires. Draw the structure of the repeating unit in SBR, assuming that the two monomers alternate.
(a) Nomex庐, a strong fire-resistant fabric, is a polyamide made from meta-phthalic acid and meta-diaminobenzene. Draw the structure of Nomex.
(b) Kevlar庐, made from terephthalic acid (para-phthalic acid) and para-diaminobenzene, is used in making tire cord and bulletproof vests. Draw the structure of Kevlar.
