Adipoyl Synthesis Lab Report
In order to form a nylon-6,6 polymer, the synthesis of two monomers, acyl chloride and 1,6-hexanediamine, is needed. In this experiment, when adipoyl chloride is dissolved in hexanes with the aqueous diamine, the polymer is formed. The adipoyl chloride mixed with cyclohexane in beaker A is transferred slowly into beaker B, which contains the 1,6-hexanediamine and NaOH. The polymer is the formed at the top of the reaction mixture. Once the polymer is formed, a copper wire is used to remove the polymer from the mixture.
This type of reaction mechanism is a “step-growth” polymerization reaction, which means when the polymers form, they can combine with each other to increase the length of the polymer length. In the interfacial polymerization,

    TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases, Transcription is located in the Nucleus, and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA, and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus, mRNA is also made through Transcription, It also takes information that doesn't directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins, DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in and matches then becomes a single strand. The only thing that changes during this process is the Thymine gets replaced with Uracil.…

    Polyurethane Analysis

    The first polyurethane synthesised by Dr Otto Bayer, in 1937, at IG Farbenindustrie Germany, by the reaction of a polyester diol with a diisocyanate, opened a new way in macromolecular chemistry: that is the synthesis of polymers by a new reaction, called polyaddition reaction. Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is any polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. Polyurethane polymers are formed through step-growth polymerization, by reacting a monomer (with at least two isocyanate functional groups) with another monomer (with at least two hydroxyl or alcohol groups) in the presence of a catalyst. Polyurethanes, having a relatively short history, of slightly more than 70 years, became one of the most dynamic groups…

    In this experiment, when vinyl strip and acetate strip is rubbed by tissue, it will charge the vinyl strip negatively and acetate strip positively caused by the transfer of electron between the strip and tissue. If molecules have non zero bond dipole, because polar molecule must have a non-zero molecular dipole where electron spend more of their time closer to one atomic nucleus than the other and make one end partially positive or negative than the other end. Different charge will attract the opposite charge which will bend the stream of liquid if it’s polar which cause the bend of the stream. Therefore proofing the shape of molecule of the liquid is not symmetric and it’s a polar molecule because of their attraction or repulsion.…

    Polymers Have Different Structures. They Also Have Different Functions. Describe How the Structures of Different Polymers Relate to Their Function?

    Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules, known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it's function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a result of the formation of more bonds forming). This tertiary structure is crucial to the function of a polymer as it denotes the necessary shape of the complementary molecule. This is easier explained through an example.…

    Step two. Polymerization of the monomer. 1. Weigh 2.5 g of freshly eluted styrene and 40 mg of the initiator, AIBN, in a 10 x 75 mm test tube 2. Cover the test tube with a rubber septum. 3. Place the test tube in a oil bath (60 ºC) and record time. 4. Remove the test tube from the oil bath after 45 minutes. 5. Pour the reaction mixture immediately after removal from the oil bath, into beakers containing 50 mL stirred methanol. A white precipitate should settle out. If the product is difficult to pour, add a small amount of toluene (2 mL) to dissolve it and then pour into methanol. 6. Continue to stir in methanol for another 10-20 minutes. 7. Vacuum filter the solid polymer and wash with methanol several times. 8. Air-dry the polymer or dry the polymer in a vacuum oven at room temperature until constant weight. Step three: Analysis of the polymer. Calculate the % yield of polymer. Record NMR of the sample, and run a differential scanning calorimetry to determine Tg.

    synthesis organic polymers

    Organic polymers are macromolecules that are composed of smaller molecules called monomers. There are two main groups of polymers: natural polymers and unnatural (synthetic) polymers. Natural polymers include proteins such as cellulose and starch and are a necessity for our existence. On the other hand, synthetic polymers such as the polycarbonate in our lab goggles are more committed to achieving comfort and pleasure in life. The best ways to classify synthetic polymers is by the chemical processes used to produce them; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Generally, three important reactions take place in addition polymerization: initiation (birth), propagation (growth), and termination (death). Addition polymers, commonly known as chain growth polymers, are made through a chain reaction in which an alkene monomer is incorporated into the growing chain by reacting with a reactive intermediate. This intermediate is produced by the initiator, which can be a radical (highly reactive atom with an unpaired electron) such as the Benzoyl peroxide that will be used in this experiment. The polymer chain growth takes place during the propagation stage and stops when the radicals are satiated, usually by the recombination of two growing chains. The three different types of polymers are homopolymers, alternating co-polymers and random co-polymers. Homopolymers are made up of the same monomers while alternating co-polymers are made up of two or more alternating monomers and random co-polymers are made up of two or more monomers that follow no particular order (i.e. random). Now condensation polymers, commonly known as step-growth polymers, are formed when two monomers combine to eliminate a small molecule side product, such as water. A unique property of linear polymers is that they cannot form…
