1,3-Cyclopentadiene undergoes thermal polymerization to yield a polymer that has no double bonds in the chain. Upon strong heating, the polymer breaks down to generate cyclopentadiene. Propose a structure of the polymer.
Epoxy adhesives are cross-linked resins prepared in two steps. The first step involved the SN2 reaction of the disodium salt of bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin to form a low molecular weight prepolymer. This polymer is then cured into a cross-linked resin by treatment with a triamine such as

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.
Poly (vinyl butyral) is used as the plastic laminate in the preparation of automobile windshield safety glass. How would you synthesize this polymer?
