Yes, Dacron is an addition polymer. It is a synthetic polymer produced through the addition polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. This process creates long chains of repeating units, known as polymers, which are characteristic of addition polymerization.
It is a synthetic addition polymer.
Addition polymerization is a process in which unsaturated monomers react to form a polymer without the formation of any byproducts. This type of polymerization typically involves the breaking of a double or triple bond in the monomer to form a long chain polymer. It is a chain-growth polymerization mechanism commonly used in the production of materials like polyethylene and polypropylene.
Dacron is a manmade synthetic fiber, which is a type of polyester. It is not a natural fiber like cotton, wool, or silk. Dacron is known for its durability and resistance to wrinkles and stretching.
No, Dacron is not a natural fiber. It is a synthetic fiber made from polyester.
A monomer with a carbon-carbon double bond (alkene) is most likely to form an addition polymer. The double bond can be broken to allow the monomers to add together without the formation of any byproducts.
