31.
Which one of the following is a chain growth polymer ?
A
Starch
B
Nucleic acid
C
Polystyrene
D
Protein
Answer :
Polystyrene
Chain growth polymerisation requires an initiator ( such as organic peroxides ) to produce a free radical to which the monomers are added in a chain fashion. Initiators are added in a very small quantities and are decomposed by heat, light or oxidation-reduction reaction to produce reactive species, e.g. free radical.
Polystyrene is an example of chain growth polymer because in it styrene molecules are associated in the form of monomer
32.
Which one of the following is an example of a thermosetting polymer ?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
Glyptal is used in the manufacture of paints and lacquers.
33.
Which of the following is fully fluorinated polymer?
A
$$PVC$$
B
Thiokol
C
Teflon
D
Neoprene
Answer :
Teflon
Teflon is polymer of $$C{F_2} = C{F_2}.$$
34.
The monomers used in addition polymerisation through free radical should be very pure because
A
the traces of impurities act like inhibitors resulting in short chain polymers
B
the impurities result in formation of different products
C
the polymer formed is impure
D
catalyst does not function in presence of impurities
Answer :
the traces of impurities act like inhibitors resulting in short chain polymers
