 Polyamide

These are condensation polymers made when

di amines with di acids.
A di amine contains 2 amino or amine groups
in the molecule.
Amide group NH2.
Naming amines - end in amine, start with
prefix for number of carbons - CH2 CH2NH2.
• This is ethyl amine.
 Nylon

Nylon is a polyamide.
It is a thermoplastic.
We can make different polyamides by altering
the number of
 They can be used for ropes, clothing, pulley.
• The N-H and C=O groups in molecules
allow for H bonding .
 SYNTHESIS GAS

This is a mixture of CO and H2.

It is made by steam reforming methane.
We use synthesis gas to make methanol
This is oxidised to form methanal.
Methanal is sed to make thermosetting plastics.
The methanal is used to cross link the polymer
chain in a condensation recation
This gives a rigid 3d structure.
Ex- bakelite, urea -formal dehyde resin.
 Kevlar

It is an aromatic polyamide which is extremely

strong because the linear molecules are rigidly
packed.
It is formed by condensation polymerisation.
Hydrogen bonds form between polymer sheets
It is very strong and is used to replace steel in
car tyre radials, bullet proof vests.
 Polyethenol

This is a soluble plastic.

It is made by ester exchange.
Ethenyl ethanoate --> addition polymerisation
--> poly(ethenyl ethanoate) --> ester exhange
--> poly(ethanol).
It is used for laundry bags, dissolving stitches,
protective coatings, over new cars.
The percent of acids groups that are removed
in the reaction affects intermolecular forces and
the solubility.
 POLY(ethyne)

This is an addition polymer made from ethyne.

It can be treated to enable it to conduct
electricity.
This is due to the delocalised electrons along
the chain.
conducting polymers make the membrane for
loud speakers.
 Poly ( vinyl carbazole)

This is an addition polymer.

It is exhibits photoconductivity - it conducts
much better when light shines on it.
 It is used in photocopiers.
 Biopol

This is a natural polymer that is biodegradable.

It is made by certain bacteria.
It can be broken down by bacteria in the soil.
 Low density poly (Ethene) LDPE

This can be altered to be photo degradable.

It breaks up in sunlight.
Carboxyl groups are added to the chain that
can absorb UV light. The trapped energy causes
bonds,around the COOH group , to break and
the polymer breaks into smaller pieces.
 APPLICATIONS :

AUTOMOTIVE : In the automotive industry,

polyamide often forms air intake manifolds ,
engine covers, valve covers and airbag
containers.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE : The food and beverage
industry uses polyamide systems to promote
good hygiene in areas .
ROBOTICS : Robotics requires highly flexible
and durable components and polyamide
provide practical solutions.
