They are good heat insulators and also good electrical insulators. * Plastics and synthetic fibres are man-made materials, this is why they are called SYNTHETIC.. * In addition, plastics are easily moulded into a variety of shapes and are excellent insulators of both heat and electricity.

State what is meant by: monomer, polymer and polymerisation. To state that addition polymers are made from small unsaturated molecules, produced by cracking, by a process called addition polymerisation. Describe addition polymerisation as small unsaturated molecules joining together by the opening of the carbon to carbon double bond. Draw the structure of an addition polymer given the monomer structure, or the repeating unit / monomer given the polymer structure.

Plastics and synthetic fibres are made from giant molecules. Joining together many thousands of smaller molecules called MONOMERS makes these giant molecules. The giant molecule is called a POLYMER as joining many small molecules together makes it. POLY means many. Monomer molecules Small part of a polymer molecule. join together

Revise that carbohydrates are compounds containing the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. State that starch is a natural condensation polymer made of many glucose molecules linked together. Understand the classifications mono-, di- and polysaccharides in relation to the terms monomer and polymer. Describe the tests for starch.

Page 10 of pupil booklet

* Polymers are not simply an invention of chemists. Many are synthesised in nature and even in our bodies. The most common natural polymers are carbohydrates like starch and cellulose, and proteins. Carbohydrate Cellulose

Starch and cellulose (carbohydrates) are natural condensation polymers. All carbohydrates are based on the monomers glucose or fructose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ). These carbohydrates are classified as MONOSACCHARIDES. A monosaccharide can be represented as: C 6 H 12 O 6 When 2 monosaccharides join a disaccharide is produced and a water molecule is lost. + C 12 H 22 O 11 H2OH2O + 2 monosaccharides disaccharide

When many monosaccharides join a polysaccharide is produced and many water molecules are lost. n C 6 H 12 O 6 + many monosaccharides + n = a large number n = a large number H 2 O molecule is lost from each C 6 H 12 O 6 making the polymer chain made of many C 6 H 10 O 5 units. (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) n n H 2 O + many water molecules polysaccharide Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides.

* Physical test * The Tyndall Beam experiment can be used to distinguish starch from glucose by shining a beam of light through 'solutions' of each. * Dispersal only happens in starch as the large starch molecules are big enough to affect the light and disperse it. * The light will pass straight through the solution of glucose. * Chemical test * In the presence of starch, iodine changes from yellow/brown to a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from other carbohydrates using this iodine solution test. * For example, if iodine is added to a peeled potato then it will turn black.

* During digestion starch is broken down into glucose. Glucose is small enough to pass through the gut wall but starch cannot. This is done in the lab using dilute acid; or in the body using enzymes (biological catalysts). The main enzyme for digestion is amylase. Enzymes work best at body temperature (37 o C). * Water must be added which is the reverse of condensation polymerisation. This is known as hydrolysis. * Hydrolysis is when one large molecule is broken down into smaller molecules by reaction with water. + G -OH HO- + +H 2 O G -OH HO- G -OH HO- G -O O- G -O O- G -O O-

* Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for all plants and animals, as it is needed to make proteins. * Proteins are natural __________ polymers formed by joining together thousands of amino acid molecules. condensation * Amino acids have two functional groups; a carboxyl group and an amine group.

The monomers of proteins are amino acids. There are 20 amino acids used to make proteins. The different amino acids have the same basic structure, with the R group being different. Here are three amino acids. glycine alanine serine

Two amino acids combine in a condensation reaction to form a protein and a water molecule. H 2 O molecule forms H 2 O molecule forms In a protein the is called a PEPTIDE LINK. peptide link peptide link Part of a PROTEIN molecule. Each protein has its own sequence of amino acids making up the polymer chain. Condensation polymerisation

* Proteins have many important jobs within the body. They form the major structural materials of animal tissue including hair, nails and muscle etc. Other proteins are involved in regulating life processes. These include haemoglobin, enzymes and certain hormones like insulin.

* During digestion the proteins we eat are broken down into _____ acids (by hydrolysis). * These amino acids are transported around the body by blood. In the bloodstream, condensation reactions build the amino acids up to produce proteins required by the body. amino

Give examples of new polymers with special properties and their uses.

Page 14 of pupil booklet

* A novel material is a new material; one that does not resemble anything that was previously known or used. * A smart material is one that changes shape in response to changes in its environment * Hydrogels are smart materials that have found a lot of uses in daily life because they are polymers that absorb _____. water

* The first hydrogels were used in the 1950s to develop early contact lenses and many different types have now been developed. * In simple terms they are all insoluble substances that form a tangled, three-dimensional network of fibres. * When a gel is in contact with water, functional groups along the fibres (carboxyl, -COOH groups) ionise (become charged) and the negative charges repel each other, forcing the fibres to become less tangled and to expand.

* Water is a polar molecule (slightly charged) and is attracted to the negative charges that exist within the structure. This is why water is absorbed. Hydrogel experiment

A hydrogel polymer is used in disposable nappies. Plant storage crystals are hydrogels. They absorb water and swell up. If put in plant tubs and hanging baskets they slowly release water extending the time between watering's, for example when you go on holiday. Soft contact lenses are hydrogels. Their ability to absorb water means they don’t dry out in use, and are compatible with tears which lubricate the eye making them more comfortable to wear.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water- soluble polymer. It is used as an adhesive. As a film it is used to make the packaging of “liqui-tabs”, which hold detergent for dishwashers and washing machines.

* Kevlar is a condensation polymer. It is very strong but also very light and can therefore be used aircraft wings, bulletproof vests and other products where strength and weight are important.

* This plastic is soluble in water and can therefore be used to make laundry bags and surgical stitches.

* Most plastics are insulators. * However, specific polymer materials like polyaniline, polythiophene and polypyrrole have been developed and can conduct electricity for the development of flexible touch screens etc. * One of the earliest conducting polymers to be developed was polypyrrole.

* Packaging that incorporates nanomaterials can be “smart,” which means that it can respond to environmental conditions or repair itself or alert a consumer to contamination and/or the presence of pathogens. * These can be used in food packaging to let consumers know the condition of the food.

Bioplastics are polymers made from plant sources. Starch-based plastics currently represent the mostly widely used bioplastic. Protective packaging is an example of this type of polymer. Polylactic acid (PLA) is made from corn or sugar cane. It is used to make disposable cutlery, waste sacks and sutures used for internal stitches in the body during surgery.
