Determine the polymer structure whether (Linear, Branched, Cross-linked or Network) for:
#1 - PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
#2 - HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
#3 – PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
#4 – LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
#5 – PP (Polypropylene)
#6 – PS (Polystyrene)
#7 - acrylic, nylon, polycarbonate, bioplastic)
Solution
1. PET- Polyethylene terephthalate is linear polymer and which is produced from the co-polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
2. HDPE. High density polythylene is linaear polymer. and very strong.
3. PVC poly vinyl chloride - It is a linear polymer and can be formed by the addition polymerization by the monomer of vinyl chloride.
4.LDPE It is known as low density polyethylene and it is a highly branched polymer.
5. PP (polypropylene) is a linear polymer and can be formed by additional polymerization.
6.PS (polystyrene) is a linear polymer and having monomer of styrene .
7. Acrylic polymer is crosslinked polymer
8. Nylon - linear polymer
9. Bio plastic - network polymer
.
