How to Draw Polymers When Given The Monomer Structure
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
