Vinyl Monomer

At room temperature vcm is a gas with a sweet ethereal odor but in industrial processes it is most often handled as a liquid melting point 13 c.

Vinyl monomer.

Vinyl ethers undergo radical initiated copolymerization in the presence of specific monomers such as maleates fumarates and acrylics. An industrially important example is vinyl chloride precursor to pvc a plastic. Monomers bearing electron releasing groups are susceptible to cationic polymerization 78 79 these monomers can be classified in two main categories. Vinyl composition tile floortiles.

Phonograph record commonly referred to as vinyl because they were made with pvc. Vinyl chloride also known as vinyl chloride monomer vcm and chloroethene is an organochloride compound. Vinyl polymer a group of polymers derived from vinyl monomers. In chemistry vinyl or ethenyl abbreviated as vi is the functional group with the formula c h ch 2 it is the ethylene iupac ethene molecule h 2 c ch 2 with one fewer hydrogen atom.

They are increasingly used in radiation curing systems because of a lower toxicity profile than the commonly used acrylic monomers. Vinyl may refer to. They make up largest family of polymers. Vinyl acetate is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol.

Vam efficiently homo polymerizes to polyvinyl acetate pva and is used in numerous random co and terpolymers. Vinyl polymers are polymers made from vinyl monomers. That is small molecules containing carbon carbon double bonds. 1 vinyl monomers for which the reactive end group is a carbocation and 2 heterocyclic monomers bearing one or two heteroatoms within the ring structure for which the reactive end group is an onium ion e g oxonium sulfonium phosphonium etc.

Polyvinyl chloride pvc a particular vinyl polymer. Vinyl acetate monomer vam is a significant intermediate used in the production of a wide range of resins and polymers for paints coatings adhesives sealants elastomers and a myriad of other industrial and consumer applications. Vinyl ethers undergo homopolymerization via a cationic mechanism. Minor uses of vinyl chloride monomer include the manufacture of chlorinated solvents primarily 10000 tonnes per year of 1 1 1 trichloroethane and the production of ethylene diamine for the manufacture of resins.

Vinyl siding an outer covering of a house. Let s see how we get from a vinyl monomer to a vinyl polymer using for an example the simplest vinyl polymer polyethylene.
