Top 10 ListPolymer products change our life significantly • Ties (Synthetic rubber) • Non-sticky pan (Teflon) • Polyethylene • Stocking (Nylon) • Polystyrene • PVF • PMMA • Silicone • Rayon • Piping (PVC) We will review this list in the end of this course
Classification of Polymerization • Carothers method / Reaction stoichiometric classification • Condensation vs addition polymerization • Determined by loss of weight (or not) on polymerization • Condensation: • mass of final polymer < mass of monomers • Small molecules lost (eg H2O or HCl) during polymerization • Addition: • Mass unchanged • Typically have higher MW and narrower MW distributions • This method is not sufficient. • Examples:
Type of Condensation Reactions • Elimination of H2O • Di-carboxylic acid + di-hydroxyl • Di-amino + Di-carboxylic acid • Di-functional monomer • Transestification –carboxylic acid ester + alcohol • Cyclization-type such as polyimide See page 30 – Allcock book
High-performance polymers prepared by polycondensation • Polycarbonate • Polyethersulphone • Polyetheretherketone • Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) • Polyimide Main applications, Tg and modulus
Examples – condensation ) • Polyester • Polycarbonate • Polyethersulphone • Polyetheretherketone • Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) • Polyamide • Polyimide • Polyanhydrides • Polybenzimidazoles • PPQ polyquinoxalines Homework: Main applications, Tg and modulus, issues
PET • Transestification rxn – low solubility and high Tm of terephthalic (sublimes at 573K)
Polyaddition • Polyurethanes (RA2 + RB2) • Diisocyanates with diols • Polyureas (RA2 + RB2) • Diisocyanates with diamine
Classification of Polymerization • Mechanistic classification: • Step-growth (step reaction) vs Chain-growth (chain-reaction)
