Introduction to Polymer and Polymerization (पॉलिमर एवं पॉलिमरीकरण का परिचय)
Engineering Chemistry में Polymer और Polymerization एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण विषय है। आधुनिक जीवन में उपयोग होने वाली Plastic Bottles, Pipes, Fibers, Rubber Products, Electrical Components, Packaging Materials तथा Medical Devices आदि सभी Polymer Technology पर आधारित हैं।
Polymer Science आधुनिक Chemical Industry, Automobile Industry, Aerospace Engineering तथा Biomedical Engineering का आधार बन चुकी है।
🔹 Polymer क्या है?
Polymer एक उच्च आणविक भार (High Molecular Weight) वाला पदार्थ होता है जो अनेक छोटे-छोटे Molecules (Monomers) के आपस में जुड़ने से बनता है।
Polymer शब्द Greek Language के दो शब्दों Poly तथा Meros से बना है।
- Poly = Many (अनेक)
- Meros = Unit (इकाई)
अर्थात Polymer का मतलब है अनेक Monomer Units से बना पदार्थ।
🔹 Definition of Polymer
"A polymer is a high molecular weight macromolecule formed by the repetitive linking of small molecules called monomers."
🔹 Monomer क्या है?
Monomer वह छोटा Molecule होता है जो Polymerization Process के दौरान आपस में जुड़कर Polymer बनाता है।
Examples of Monomers
- Ethylene (CH₂=CH₂)
- Propylene (CH₂=CH-CH₃)
- Vinyl Chloride (CH₂=CHCl)
- Styrene (C₆H₅CH=CH₂)
🔹 Examples of Polymers
| Monomer | Polymer |
|---|---|
| Ethylene | Polyethylene |
| Vinyl Chloride | PVC |
| Tetrafluoroethylene | Teflon |
| Styrene | Polystyrene |
🔹 Characteristics of Polymers
- High Molecular Weight
- Low Density
- Good Chemical Resistance
- High Mechanical Strength
- Excellent Electrical Insulation
- Easy Processability
- Corrosion Resistance
🔹 Polymerization क्या है?
Monomer Molecules के आपस में Chemical Bond द्वारा जुड़कर Polymer बनाने की प्रक्रिया को Polymerization कहते हैं।
🔹 Definition of Polymerization
"Polymerization is the process by which a large number of monomer molecules combine together to form a polymer."
🔹 General Representation
nM → (M)n
जहाँ:
- M = Monomer
- n = Number of Monomer Units
🔹 Example of Polymerization
n(CH₂=CH₂) → (-CH₂-CH₂-)n
Ethylene → Polyethylene
