The ε-caprolactone monomer from which the biopolymer polycaprolactone (PCL) is synthesized is depicted below. (a) What is the monomer's function? (b) What is the polymerization mechanism that results in the formation of PCL? (c) Define/Illustrate the homopolymer's repeating unit provided that the functional group is placed at the hydrocarbon chain's terminal position.
During our lectures on polymeric materials, I used polyethylene as an example because of its very straightforward structure. (a.) Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as an initiator for the polymerization of ethylene. Draw a diagram of a dissociated hydrogen peroxide molecule which emphasizes the creation of two free radicals (unbonded electrons) that can serve as initiators or as terminators of polymerization.
Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensationreactions of amino acids, which have the generalstructureIn this structure, ¬R represents ¬H, ¬CH3, or anothergroup of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids,and each has one of 20 different R groups. (a) Draw the generalstructure of a protein formed by condensation polymerizationof the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only afew amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a“peptide” rather than a protein; only when there are 50 aminoacids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.For three amino acids (distinguished by having three differentR groups, R1, R2, and R3), draw the peptide that resultsfrom their condensation reactions. (c) The order in which theR groups exist in a peptide or protein has a huge influence onits biological activity. To distinguish different peptides andproteins, chemists call the first amino acid the one at the “Nterminus” and the last one the one at…
1. Answer the following questions: (a) Why is free radical polymerization more commonly used today than ionic polymerization? (b) Almost all substituted ethylene monomers of commercial importance have the structure of CH2 = CHR or CH2 = CRR’ (where R or R' represent identical or different substituent groups). Why? (c) What are some methods for the production of conductive polymers? Give a few examples.
Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.

Give handwritten answer- Write three characteristic features for Zieglar Natta polymerization.
In addition to their use in water treatment, ion-exchange resins are used to extract Au, Ag, and Pt ions from solution. Oneof the most common resins consists of a polymer with abenzene-containing backbone to which sulfonic acid groups(–SO₃H) are then added. (a) What monomer can be used toprepare the polymer backbone? (b) This polymer typically con-tains 4–16% crosslinking. Draw the structure of the benzene-containing monomer used to crosslink the polymer.
b Explain why nylon-6 can be classified as a polyamide. c Explain why some chemists classify nylon-6 as an addition polymer and not a condensation polymer. d Suggest the product of hydrolysis of nylon-6.
