1
Monomers vs. Polymers
2
Monomers Simple molecules Three types from crude oil
Ethene Propene Chloroethene Obtained through “cracking” process (breaking large compounds in crude oil into smaller molecules) Monomers
3
Polymers Complex molecules-linking, repeating chain of monomers
Natural and synthetically made Natural Wool Silk DNA Proteins Etc… Synthetic Polypropene Polyethene (LDPE and HDPE) Polychloroethene *** used to make different plastics, rubbers, and fabrics Polymers
4
Uses of Synthetic Polymers
Polychloroethene and Polyethene Polypropene Food packaging PVC piping Crates Plastic bottles Car parts Vinyl records Toys Films Plastic bags Cables/wiring Moldings Coatings for fabrics Uses of Synthetic Polymers
