Organic mechanisms • To manufacture of poly(ethene) • used to make polymers from vinyl monomers • Mostly covalent bonds • 2 types: • LDPE • HDPE
Vinyl polymers • from vinyl monomers (contain double carbon- carbon bonding) • largest family of polymers • made from the monomer ethylene/ ethene • form a long chain of many thousands of carbon atoms containing only single bonds between atoms
Examples of Vinyl Polymers • polypropylene • Polystyrene • poly(vinyl chloride) • Polyisobutylene/ type of rubber • poly(methyl methacrylate) • polytetrafluoroethylene
Objective C.9.1 • Describe the free- radical mechanism involved in the manufacture of low- density polyethene
Low density poly(ethene) • Carried out at very high pressures (1000-3000 atm) • At temperature about 500K (227ºC) • Average polymer molecule contains between 4 x 10³ to 4 x 10^4 carbon atoms • With short branches • Has a density of about 0.92g cm^-3 • Used mostly for packaging • Formed under free radical formation
Free radical formation • Definition- molecules with unpaired electrons • Highly reactive due to unpaired electrons • Biology example- PEROXIDATION (producing ATP inside the body) • Elements example- oxygen (ROS- reactive oxygen species) , transition metals (Cu- copper, can lose and gain electrons easily) • Progress= initiate propagation termination
Initiate • First step • Homolytic fission • when a bond is broken, each of the bonded atoms or groups takes one of the bonding pair of electrons. • Not heterolytic fission • when a bond is broken and two electrons go to one of the element/compound • Examples: • Cl2 (UV light) 2Cl· • Br2 2 Br·
Propagation • Each step must have odd number of unshared electrons • Two compounds containing one unshared electron each never, ever, ever combine • Unpaired electrons wanted will swipe one of themselves to pair with • Leading us back to the beginning • adding of more and more monomer molecules to the growing chains • Examples: • Cl · + CH4 · CH3 + HCL • · CH3 + Cl2 CH3Cl + Cl · • Cl · + CH4 -> · CH3 + HCL • · CH3 + Cl2 -> CH3Cl + Cl·
Termination • Each of two unpaired compounds form radical–radical combination(coupling) or a disproportionation • Examples: • · Cl+ · Cl -> Cl2 • · CH3+ · CL-> CH3Cl • · CH3+ · CH3->C2H6

Objectives C.9.2 • Outline the use of Ziegler- Natta catalyst in the manufacture of high- density polyethene
High density poly(ethene) • Carried out at pressures (1-50 atm) • At low temperature about 350K (77ºC) • Using Zieler- Natta catalyst • Maily of linear chains with very little branching • Higher density 0.96 g cm^-3 • More rigid structure • Used to make containers and pipes
Ziegler- Natta catalyst • method of vinyl polymerization • discovered by two scientists: Ziegler and Natta in the 1950s • Can’t make some other kinds of monomers, such as poly(vinyl chloride) • Suspension of titanium (III) or titanium (IV) chloride together with an Alkyl- aluminum compound • Catalyst and co catalyst: • TiCl3 and Al(C2H5)2Cl • TiCl4 with Al(C2H5)3
Chemical process • TiCl3 can arrange itself into a number of crystal structures • each titanium atom is coordinated to six chlorine atoms= octahedral geometry
• Ti- • transition metal • Have six empty orbitals (4s and five 3d-orbitals ) • Needs 2 electrons to fill up the orbital • Filled 1 up by Al(C2H5)2Cl
Combine with vinyl monomer like propylene nth(C3H6) • two electrons in the π-system of a carbon-carbon double bond fill the left over empty orbital • Form a complex
Several pair of electrons shift position • The propylene monomer migrates
