Write the names and structures of the monomers of the following polymers:
(i) Terylene
(ii) Buna-S
(iii) Neoprene
(i) Terylene Monomer is a condensation polymer of Ethylene Glycol (HO – CH2 – CH2 – OH) and Terephthalic acid
It is also known as Dacron. Terylene is formed when a mixture of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is heated at 420 to 460°K in the presence of zinc acetate-antimony trioxide catalyst.

(ii) Buna-S is a copolymer of Styrene
and 1, 3-Butadiene (H2C = CH – CH = CH2) formed by addition polymerization.

(Structure of Buna-S)
(iii) Neoprene Monomer is Chloroprene. Neoprene is formed by free radical polymerization of chloroprene.
