In a typical "free radical polymerization" for making alternating co-polymers composed of the following two types of monomers (For the following Part a to c): HC CH3 CH3 methyl methacrylate HC CH3 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate OH At the same time you are given the following initiator (tert-Butyl radical) for "free radical polymerization": H3C CH3 CH3 a) Please draw the general repeating unit of the alternating co-polymers polymerized from the two monomers as mentioned above. [5 points] b) By using the tert-Butyl radical, please predict the polymerization mechanism of forming a polymer domain with 3 monomers from methyl methacrylate and 2- hroxylethyl methacrylate as mentioned above. [15 points] c) Please draw ONE possible "non-reactive" or "terminated" polymer product (which contain ONLY 4 monomers) resulted from the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and 2-hroxylethyl methacrylate as mentioned above. [5 points] Page 3 of 5 d) The following repeating unit of another polymer is formed from condensation polymerization: CH2 NH(CH2)6NH CH2 n Please draw the structures of the two types of molecules (forming the repeating unit of the polymer) and the condensation reaction involved in the formation of the polymer as mentioned above.
