Q.No.

1[a] Differentiate the following pair of polymers based on the property mentioned against each
(i) Polyisoprene and PMMA (source),
(ii) LDPE and Bakelite (chain structure) [2.5 marks][CO1]
[b] What does high degree of polymerisation mean? Calculate the degree of polymerization of
polystyrene with a molecular weight of 3.091x 106 g/mol. [2.5 marks][CO1]

2[a] What is the role of benzoyl peroxide in addition to the polymerisation of monomers?
Explain its mode of action with the help of a MMA polymerization mechanism.
[2.5 marks][CO1]
ᵒ
[b] For styrene polymerized at 70 C, monomer concentration is 7.85mol/l and the value of the
2
ratio (kp /kt) is 0.0015 l/mol-s. What is the rate of polymerization reaction, if the chain
length is 300? [2.5 marks][CO2]
3[a] Styrene monomer containing 0.05% (by wt.) benzoyl peroxide initiator was reacted until all
the initiator was consumed. Calculate the average degree of polymerization of the
polystyrene if only 40% of the monomer reacted. Assume 100% efficiency of the initiator
(i.e., all initiator molecules are actually consumed in polymer formation) and termination of
chain radicals by coupling alone. (O: 16 g/mol; H: 1 g/mol). show your calculations.

[b] What is the significance of the reactivity ratio? Discuss all possible cases of reactivity ratio
in the copolymer system. [2.5 marks][CO2]

4[a] Explain Ziegler-natta catalytic polymerization mechanism. What effect in the tacticity of
polymer, when different transition metals are used in Ziegler-natta catalyst.
[2.5 marks][CO2]
[b] In a Polymer, there are 100 molecules of molecular weight 100; 200 molecules of
molecular weight 1000; and 300 molecules of molecular weight 10,000. Calculate its
