(PART – I)
Q.2 Write short answers to following questions.(6×2=12)
i.
Give two examples each of addition polymers and condensation polymers.
Addition polymers: polyethene (polythene), polypropylene (also PVC, polystyrene). Condensation polymers: nylon-6,6 (polyamide), PET (polyester).
ii.
Give examples of naturally occurring and man-made polymers.
Natural: starch, cellulose, proteins, DNA, natural rubber. Man-made: polyethene, nylon, polyester (PET), PVC, bakelite.
iii.
How polymers are useful for us?
Polymers are used for clothing, packaging, bottles, pipes, furniture, toys, insulation and medical items. They are light, cheap, strong, durable and easy to shape. Natural polymers (proteins, starch) are also essential for life and food.
iv.
How is PET formed?
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a condensation polymer formed when ethane-1,2-diol (ethylene glycol) reacts with terephthalic acid (a dicarboxylic acid). An ester linkage forms at each step and water is eliminated.
n HOOC–C6H4–COOH + n HO–CH2–CH2–OH → [–CO–C6H4–CO–O–CH2–CH2–O–]n + 2n H2O
v.
How synthetic fibers are different from natural fibers?
Synthetic fibres are man-made from petroleum chemicals (nylon, polyester, acrylic); they are stronger, more elastic, dry quickly and resist wrinkles and insects. Natural fibres come from plants or animals (cotton, wool, silk), absorb moisture better but are weaker and may be damaged by moths or mildew.
vi.
What is a repeat unit in polymerization?
The repeat unit is the smallest group of atoms that repeats again and again along the polymer chain. In polyethene it is –[–CH2–CH2–]–.
(PART – II)
Note: Attempt the following question.
Q.3: Describe the role of synthetic polymers in the textile industry.(5)
1. Synthetic fibres such as nylon, polyester (PET) and acrylic are produced from petrochemicals and spun into yarn for fabrics.
2. Nylon (a polyamide) is strong and elastic, so it is used for stockings, ropes, parachutes and carpets.
3. Polyester (PET) resists wrinkles and dries quickly; it is blended with cotton for shirts, bedsheets and curtains.
4. Acrylic is soft, light and warm like wool, so it is used for sweaters, blankets and artificial fur.
5. Synthetic fibres are cheaper, more durable and available in large quantity, reducing the need for cotton and wool, and they can be easily dyed and blended.
