The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PHOH) with CH2 = 0, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different. CH3 OH + CH2=0 p-cresol
Explain the effects the addition of glycerol (a triol) will have on the molecular architecture of the following polymerization reactions: a) Condensation polymerization of terephthalic acid + ethylene glycol b) Condensation polymerization of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid
(d) Another variation on this type of polymer is used in hair gels. In these, the polymer chains are cross-linked by a compound known as pentaerythritol. но- OH но- OH pentaerythritol ( By what type of chemicat reaction are the cross-links in this polymer formed? (i) it is important that the gel should be easily washed out of hair What is it about the structure of the polymer that allows this to happen?
