Chain Branching 厘 H 日日H middle of a polyethylene chain growing end of a chain chain with 2 free radical terminated chain (I free radical) in the middle HC=CH2 growing branch CH2-CH, HH H new chain growing original chain at the branch point Copyright2010 Pearson Prentice Hall,Inc. Chain branching occurs when the growing end of a chain abstracts a hydrogen atom from the middle of a chain.A new branch grows off the chain at that point. Chain branching makes the polymer soft. Chapter 26 7

Chapter 26 7 Chain Branching ▪ Chain branching occurs when the growing end of a chain abstracts a hydrogen atom from the middle of a chain. A new branch grows off the chain at that point. ▪ Chain branching makes the polymer soft

Cationic Polymerization Initiation steps:The catalyst protonates the monomer,starting the chain CH B+H,0: cH,→H-9 OH CH, CH H isobutylene initiated chain Copyright 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall.Inc Propagation step:Another molecule of monomer adds to the chain. tertiary carbocation CH CH CH H CH,H growing chain isobutylene elongated chain Copyright 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall,Inc. Strongly acidic catalysts are used to initiate cationic polymerization. ■ BFa is a particularly effective catalyst,requiring a trace of water or methanol as a co-catalyst.Intermediate must be a stable carbocation.
