Polymers such as polypropylene contain a large number of chirality centers. Would you therefore expect samples of isotactic, syndiotactic, or atactic polypropylene to rotate plane-polarized light? Explain.
Order the following monomers concerning their expected reactivity toward anionic polymerization, and explain your answer:
H2C = CHCH3, H2C = CHC N, H2C = CH-C6H5
Irradiation of poly (1,3-butadiene), followed by the addition of styrene, yields a graft copolymer that is used to make rubber soles for shoes. Draw the structure of a representative segment of this styrene-butadiene graft copolymer.
The smoking salons of the Hindenburg and other hydrogen-filled dirigibles of the 1930s were insulated with urea–formaldehyde polymer foams. The structure of this polymer is highly cross-linked, like that of Bakelite (Section 31-6). Propose a structure.
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.
