Question

what are the polymers used for six synthetic fibres.classify the polymers as a)addition or condensation polymers b)as alternating,block or graft copolymers if they are copolymers

Answer 1

The eight most collective types of synthetic organic polymers, which are normally found in households, are:

• High-density polyethylene (HDPE)

• Polypropylene (PP)

• Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)

• Polyvinyl chloride (pvc)

• Polystyrene (PS)

• Nylon, nylon 6, nylon 6,6

• Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

• Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU)

Classification of Polymers:

There are three basic types of polymers:

• Thermoplastic polymer

• Thermosetting polymer

• Elastomers

Addition and condensation polymers:

The chief dissimilarity between addition and condensation polymerization is that in addition polymerization the polymers are made by the addition of monomers with no by-products whereas in condensation polymerization polymers are made due to the condensation of two diverse monomers
