- A polymer closely related to PET is PBT, which is made from terephthalic acid and butane-1,4-diol.(a) Propose a structure for PBT and write the condensed formula for the structure.(b) What does PBT stand for? That is, what do you expect the trivial name of PBT to be?(c) Would you expect PBT to have a higher or lower melting point than PET? Justify your answer.(d) PBT, rather than PET, is used in molding because it crystallizes faster. Explain why PBT crystallizes more quickly than PET.arrow_forwardPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.arrow_forwardPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum.

- The monomer glycine (NH2-CH2-COOH) can undergo condensation polymerization to form polyglycine, in which the structural units are joined by amide linkages.(a) What molecule is split off in the formation of polyglycine?(b) Draw the structure of the repeat unit in polyglycine.arrow_forwardPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. Draw the structure of PLAarrow_forwardPoly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is produced from poly(vinyl acetate) by converting the acetate groups into hydroxyl groups (Section 26.6a.1). As the number of hydroxyl groups in PVA increases, the solubility of the polymer in water decreases. How do you explain this behavior?arrow_forward
