The chemistry of making plastic. It’s helpful to understand some of the chemistry behind the polymerization reaction to appreciate how the process works and the complexity involved in making plastic. A polymerization reaction starts with a primary ingredient (monomer), such as ethylene or propylene.

There are two general types of polymerization reactions: addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. In addition polymerization, the monomers add to one another in such a way that the polymer contains all the atoms of the starting monomers. Ethylene molecules are joined together in long chains. Note.
Synthetic plastic is made by a reaction known as polymerisation, which can be performed in two different ways: Addition polymerisation : Synthesis includes adding together monomers in a long chain. One monomer connects to the next and so on, when a catalyst is introduced, in a process known as chain growth polymers, adding one monomer unit at a ...
PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is found in plastic wrap, simulated leather, water pipes, and garden hoses, is formed from vinyl chloride (H 2 C=CHCl). The reaction is shown in the graphic on the left. Notice how every other carbon must have a chlorine attached.
22 de jun. de 2021 · Plastics, Polymers, Toxicity. Abstract. A variety of chemical substances used in plastic production may be released throughout the entire life cycle of the plastic, posing risks to human health, the environment, and recycling systems. Only a limited number of these substances have been widely studied.
11 de oct. de 2019 · Since the modern plastics industry relies on fossil fuels for its raw material, the production of plastic has an impact on climate change, contributing to global C02 production. For several decades, chemists have researched and developed 'green' plastics, which—like early semi-synthetic plastics—are derived from natural ...
Objectives. The objectives of this laboratory are to: Understand properties and uses of synthetic thermoplastics. Compare the physical properties of “Big Six” plastics. Identify everyday plastics by their physical properties. Draw basic structures of polymers when given monomer structure. The word “polymer” means “many units”.
