Melmac, a thermosetting resin often used to make plastic dishes, is prepared by heating melamine with formaldehyde. Look at the structure of Bakelite shown in Section 31-6, and then propose a structure for Melmac.
Nomex, a polyamide used in such applications as fire-retardant clothing, is prepared by reaction of 1,3-benzenediamine with 1,3-benzenedicarbonyl chloride. Show the structure of Nomex.
Vinylidene chloride, H2C = CHCl, does not polymerize in isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic forms. Explain.
Polystyrene is produced commercially by the reaction of styrene with butyllithium as an anionic initiator. Using resonance structures, explain how the chain-carrying intermediate is stabilized.
Poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, is a polyester used to make soft-drink bottles. It is prepared by reaction of ethylene glycol with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (terephthalic acid). Draw the structure of PET.
