is universally used in Diels-Alder reactions and is stable dimer‚ dicyclopentadiene‚ which is the Diels-Alder adduct from two molecules of the diene. Because a bottle of cyclopentadiene actually contains the dimmer‚ it must be converted into the monomer prior to using it as a reactant. Making cyclopentadiene by heating and distillation of the dimer makes it a reverse Diels-Alder reaction. If the initial process of heating and distilling does not yield enough pure cyclopentadiene then a stock solution

INTRODUCTION In this lab‚ we will be measuring the viscosity of samples of polyvinyl alcohols in order to determine the molecular mass of their components. Polyvinyl alcohol is an example of a synthetic polymer‚ which is a macromolecule. The general chemical structure of such compounds are well-characterized‚ although variation in characteristics such as molar mass‚ chain length‚ and extent of branching are not obvious from merely looking at their molecular formula. There is also the complication

Polymers in Dentistry A polymer is a very long molecule that is made by linking together many smaller molecules called monomers. Some polymers contain only one type of monomer and others can be made from a combination of two or more different monomers. Polymers can be synthetic (produced by humans) or natural. Polymers that can be heated and molded into specific shapes and forms are commonly known as plastics. All plastics are synthetic polymers. Adhesives‚ chewing gum‚ and polystyrene are also

Styrene This protocol describes the bulk polymerization of styrene at 60 oC using 2‚2´azobisisobutyronitril (AIBN) as an initiator. The monomer styrene first has to be purified before it can be used. The purification is performed in order to remove inhibitors and impurities‚ which can have a detrimental effect on the reaction. Styrene is purified by passing the monomer through a column of activated basic aluminum oxide and by this treatment the inhibitors and impurities are adsorbed. The styrene used

Investigating the effectivness of PVA and PVAc as base polymers In the production of a polymer ball. Introduction A monomer refers to a specific group of atoms that from a molecular unit. When monomers are strung together like a long chain they form polymers. A good analogy of polymers‚ would be long connections of chains which become tangled like a bunch of spaghetti in a pot. The reason for experimenting with‚ and understanding polymers is because they play such a major roll and are found

ABS is an engineering thermoplastic resin composed of styrene‚ butadiene‚ and acrylonitrile monomers. Being composed mainly of styrene‚ and varying ratios of butadiene and acrylonitrile‚ ABS material can be readily modified in terms of rigidity‚ hardness and heat resistance‚ and toughness by varying the monomer proportions. The unique material properties of ABS include impact resistance‚ chemical resistance‚ fire resistance‚ heat resistance‚ and dimensional stability. The exclusive properties of

Polymer Chemistry 2011 Bulk polymerization of styrene with AIBN Step one: Preparation of the monomer. Remove inhibitors from styrene by passing it through a mini-column packed with basic alumina: place a small glass wool plug in the bottom of a Pasteur pipette and fill it one-half full with alumina. Place the mini-column in a hood and add styrene drop wise to the top of pipette. It takes about 4 minutes to elute 2 mL of styrene. If it takes much longer than 4 minutes‚ the styrene may be contaminated

polyhydroxyalkanoates‚ is not only present in microorganisms as storage material but is also very ubiquitous in nature in various roles (Poirier et al.‚ 1995). In recent years the very wide distribution of PHB as a low molecular weight oligomer (120-200 monomers units) has been discovered in microorganisms‚ plants and animal‚ including humans (Shrivastav et al.‚ 2013).
