What Is Covered in Topic 28 Polymerisation?

Topic 28 Polymerisation is a key component of the Cambridge AS & A Level Chemistry 9701 syllabus. The AS boundary covers addition polymerisation using poly(ethene) and poly(chloroethene), repeat-unit and monomer deduction, and disposal problems of poly(alkenes)[reference:4].

Addition Polymerisation – Describing addition polymerisation as exemplified by poly(ethene) and poly(chloroethene), PVC[reference:6]. Understanding the polymerisation process where alkenes (monomers) form long-chain polymers[reference:7]. Deduce the repeat unit of an addition polymer obtained from a given monomer[reference:8]. Identify the monomer(s) present in a given section of an addition polymer molecule[reference:9].
Condensation Polymerisation – Describing the formation of polyesters and polyamides by condensation polymerisation[reference:10]. Drawing the repeat unit and identifying the linkage and the small molecule eliminated[reference:11]. Deducing the monomers from a section of a condensation polymer[reference:12]. Polyesters and polyamides (nylon, Kevlar, Terylene)[reference:13].
Proteins and Peptide Bonds – Understanding the formation of peptide and amide bonds in proteins[reference:14]. Mechanistic outlines for peptide bond formation[reference:15].
