Question

1. Which of the following is a conducting polymer?
a. Polyethylene, b. Polyacetylene, c. Polyvinyl chloride, d. Polystyrene

Answer 1

Answer:

Types. Linear-backbone "polymer blacks" (polyacetylene, polypyrrole, polyindole and polyaniline) and their copolymers are the main class of conductive polymers. Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and its soluble derivatives have emerged as the prototypical electroluminescent semiconducting polymers.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Among well-known conducting polymers, polyacetylene and poly(phenylene vinylene) are synthesized almost exclusively by chemical polymerization or from precursor route. Polyheterocycles such as polythiophene or polypyrrole are synthesized by both chemical and electrochemical polymerization.
