POLYMERS AND FIBRES Polymers and fibres are giant molecules of organic compounds. Polymers and fibres are formed when small molecules called monomers join together to form large molecules called polymers at high temperatures and pressures. This process is called polymerization. Polymers and fibres are either: (a)Natural polymers and fibres (b)Synthetic polymers and fibres Natural polymers and fibres are found in living things(plants and animals) Natural polymers/fibres include: -proteins/polypeptides making amino acids in animals -cellulose that make cotton,wool,paper and silk -Starch that come from glucose -Fats and oils -Rubber from latex in rubber trees. Synthetic polymers and fibres are man-made. They include: -polyethene
103 -polychloroethene -polyphenylethene(polystyrene) -Terylene(Dacron) -Nylon-6,6 -Perspex(artificial glass) Synthetic polymers and fibres have the following characteristic advantages over natural polymers 1. They are light and portable 2. They are easy to manufacture. 3. They can easily be molded into shape of choice. 4. They are resistant to corrosion, water, air , acids, bases and salts. 5. They are comparatively cheap, affordable, colourful and aesthetic Synthetic polymers and fibres however have the following disadvantages over natural polymers 1. They are non-biodegradable and hence cause environmental pollution during disposal 2. They give out highly poisonous gases when burnt like chlorine/carbon(II)oxide 3. Some on burning produce Carbon(IV)oxide. Carbon(IV)oxide is a green house gas that cause global warming. 4. Compared to some metals, they are poor conductors of heat,electricity and have lower tensile strength. 5. To reduce environmental pollution from synthetic polymers and fibres, the followitn methods of disposal should be used: 1.Recycling: Once produced all synthetic polymers and fibres should be recycled to a new product. This prevents accumulation of the synthetic polymers and fibres in the environment. 2.Production of biodegradable synthetic polymers and fibres that rot away.

There are two types of polymerization: (a)addition polymerization (b)condensation polymerization (a)addition polymerization Addition polymerization is the process where a small unsaturated monomer (alkene ) molecule join together to form a large saturated molecule. Only alkenes undergo addition polymerization. 104 Addition polymers are named from the alkene/monomer making the polymer and adding the prefix “poly” before the name of monomer to form a polyalkene During addition polymerization (i)the double bond in alkenes break (ii)free radicals are formed (iii)the free radicals collide with each other and join to form a larger molecule. The more collisions the larger the molecule. Examples of addition polymerization 1.Formation of Polyethene Polyethene is an addition polymer formed when ethene molecule/monomer join together to form a large molecule/polymer at high temperatures and pressure.
