Polystyrene can be polymerized from the starting monomer
(styrene) pictured below.
a. Anionic polymerization is one method of polymerization that
can be used to generate polystyrene from styrene. Explain what type
of initiator should be used for this reaction
and draw an example of a styrene monomer that has reacted with
initiator.
b. Using this anionic polymerization method and a starting
concentration of 1M styrene and 1mM initiator, what degree of
polymerization (Xn) would you expect if you use up...
Ex. You are reverse engineering a competitors new high strength Ethylene-Acrylic Ester copolymer sprocket for a performance gear shifter. Through experiments you determine the molecular weight of the polymer to be 13,700 g/mol and the degree of polymerization to be 243. What is the mol fraction of ethylene and acrylic ester?
