How to Draw The Monomer Structure From The Polymer

 

This is part of the HSC Chemistry course under the topic Polymers. There are two types of polymers: addition and condensation polymers.

HSC Chemistry Syllabus

  • model and compare the structure, properties and uses of addition polymers of ethylene and related monomers, for example:

– polyethylene (PE)

– polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

– polystyrene (PS)

– polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (ACSCH136)

  • model and compare the structure, properties and uses of condensation polymers, for example: 

– nylon

– polyesters
