Addition Polymers (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Large molecules from monomers joined without loss of atoms

Must contain $C=C$ double bond

Branched chains, amorphous (disordered) structure

Linear unbranched chains, crystalline (ordered) structure

$135°C$

Ordered, closely packed chains with stronger forces

Non-stick surface, chemically inert

Dipole-dipole interactions from polar $C—Cl$ bonds

All methyl groups on same side of chain (strongest form)

Polymer made from two or more different monomers
