Module 7 | Organic chemistry
Content 6: Polymers
Lesson 1 | Addition polymerisation
-
model and compare the structure, properties and uses of addition polymers of ethylene and related monomers, for example:
– polyethylene (PE)
– polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
– polystyrene (PS)
– polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (ACSCH136)
Lesson 2 | Condensation polymerisation
-
model and compare the structure, properties and uses of condensation polymers, for example:
– nylon
– polyesters
