Structures of Solid Materials Molecular size - not all chains in a polymer are of the same length. i.e., there is a distribution of molecular weights. short molecule chains Polymers ceramics Metals Low M long molecule chains high M - molecular weight, M: Mass of a mole of chains. Size of polymer molecules Molecular weight distribution Mi = mean (middle) molecular weight of size range i xi = number fraction of chains in size range i wi = weight fraction of chains in size range i

Structures of Solid Materials chain Polymers ceramics Metals Shape of polymer molecules Molecular shape Twisting also known as conformation. chain bending and twisting are possible by rotation of carbon atoms around their chain bonds. note: not necessary to break chain bonds to alter molecular shape. Entanglement

Structures of Solid Materials (1) Linear structures (2) Branched structures polymers are synthesized in which… repeat units are joined together end to end in single chains. flexible & spaghetti like. common polymers: Polyethylene Poly(vinyl chloride) Polystyrene Poly(methyl methacrylate) Nylon Fluorocarbons polymers are synthesized in which… side-branch chains are connected to the main chains. the branches may… result from side reactions that occur during synthesis. reduced the packing efficiency & lowered the polymer density. - common polymers: high-density polyethylene (HDPE) low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Polymers ceramics Metals Structure of polymer molecules Molecular chains structures (3) Cross-linked structures (4) Network structures polymers are synthesized in which… adjacent linear chains are joined one to another at various positions by covalent bonds. accomplished by additive atoms that are covalently bonded to the chains. common polymers: rubber elastic materials. polymers are synthesized in which… multifunctional monomers forming 3 @ more active covalent bonds make 3D networks. polymer that is highly cross-linked may also be classified as a network polymer. these polymers have distinctive mechanical & thermal properties. common polymers: epoxies polyurethanes phenol-formaldehyde shows the structure of the molecular chains. all structures contain van der Waals & hydrogen bonding between the chains. B ranched Cross-Linked Network Linear secondary bonding

Structures of Solid Materials Stereo isomers Stereoisomers are mirror images – can’t superimpose without breaking a bond. ex: E B A D C mirror plane Polymers ceramics Metals - Tacticity – stereoregularity or spatial arrangement of R units along chain. - It can be isotactic, syndiotactic & atactic. Isotactic configuration Structure of polymer molecules - all R groups on same side of chain. Molecular chains structures – isomeric states shows the molecular configurations for polymers. to change configurations, it must break bonds. Syndiotactic configuration - R groups alternate sides. Geometrical isomers - either cis @ trans isomerism. cis trans H atom and CH3 group on same side of chain. - H atom and CH3 group on opposite sides of chain. Atactic configuration - R groups randomly positioned. ex: cis-isoprene ex: trans-isoprene

Structures of Solid Materials Thermoplastic polymers soften when heated (eventually liquefy) & harden when cooled. processes that are reversible & repeated. structures: most linear polymers & some branched polymers with flexible chains. properties: soft & less dimensional stability. common polymers: polyethylene. poly(vinyl chloride). polystyrene. poly(ethylene terephthalate). Polymers ceramics Metals Classification of polymeric materials Polymers classification Copolymers random block graft alternating - 2 @ more monomers polymerized together. - 4 types: random – A and B randomly positioned along chain. alternating – A and B alternate in polymer chain. block – large blocks of A units alternate with large blocks of B units. graft – chains of B units grafted onto A backbone. A – B – Thermosetting polymers permanently hard during their formation & do not soften when heated. processes that are not reversible & repeated. structures: most network polymers & cross-linked polymers. properties: hard, strong & high dimensional stability. common polymers: epoxies. phenolics. polyester resins.

Polymer crystallinity chain folded structure polyethylene unit cell crystalline region amorphous - polymers rarely 100% crystalline. difficult for all regions of all chains to become aligned. degree of crystallinity expressed as % crystallinity. some physical properties depend on % crystallinity. heat treating causes crystalline regions to grow & % crystallinity to increase. Adapted from Fig. 14.11, Callister 6e. (Fig. 14.11 is from H.W. Hayden, W.G. Moffatt, and J. Wulff, The Structure and Properties of Materials, Vol. III, Mechanical Behavior, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1965.)
