  1. Abaca

  2. Polystyrene

  3. Mohair

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics. They are polymer of styrene. They are used for making containers, disposable cups, lids, plates, cutlery etc. Abaca and Mohair are natural fibres.

Teflon is an example of polymer which is a/an

chemistry polymer polymers of commercial importance some commercially important polymers condensation polymers

  1. polyamide

  2. addition Ploymer

  3. polyster

  4. formaldehyderesin

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

TEFLON  -  It is an addition polymer prepared by heating tetrafluoroetane with a free radical.
      $n CF _{2} = CF _{2}  \xrightarrow[High  pressure]{Catalyst} -[CF _{2}-CF _{2}-] _{n}$
   Tetrafluoroetane                                   Teflon
POLYAMIDE  -  These are polymers possessing amide linkage and Teflon doesn't contain any amide linkage.
POLYSTER -  These are polycondensation products of dicarboxylic acids and diols.
FORMALDEHYDE  RESIN - It can refer to many formaldehyde polymers such as melamine formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde.

For natural polymers, PDI is generally ___

chemistry polymer polymers of commercial importance some commercially important polymers condensation polymers

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $100$

  4. $1000$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For natural polymers, PDI (Polydispersity Index) is generally equal to $1$, which means that they are monodisperse. Such polymers are more homogeneous.

Orlon is a polymer of:

chemistry polymer polymers of commercial importance some commercially important polymers condensation polymers

  1. isoprene

  2. acrolein

  3. glycol

  4. vinyl cyanide

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Orlon is the trade name of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and is a polymer of acrylonitrile (acrolein).
$CH _2=CH-C\equiv N$
Hence, the correct option is B.

The monomers of Buna-S polymers are:

chemistry polymer polymers of commercial importance some commercially important polymers condensation polymers

  1. vinyl chloride and vinylidene

  2. styrene and butadiene

  3. acrylonitrile and butadiene

  4. isobutylene and isoprene

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Styrene and butadiene 
Because with styrene, rubbers are harder and less rubbery and butadine also influence the property.
