Question

2) The degree of polymerization an oligomer is..... ................ ........
1) Very low 2) Very high 3) >1000 4) <100​

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of polymerization, or DP, is the number of monomeric units in a macromolecule or polymer or oligomer molecule. ... This number does not reflect the variation in molecule size of the polymer that typically occurs, it only represents the mean number of monomeric units.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option C: $> 1000$

Explanation:

The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is known as the degree of polymerization, or DP.

Degrees of polymerization in the thousands or tens of thousands are preferred for the majority of industrial applications.

This figure merely indicates the average number of monomeric units; it does not take into account the typical fluctuation in polymer molecule size.

Oligomers:

Oligomers are low molecular weight polymers with a limited number of repeat units whose physical characteristics are strongly influenced by the chain length.

Material science uses oligomers, which are essentially polymerization process intermediates, extensively and directly.
