Vinyl Monomer

Vinyl polymers are polymers made from vinyl monomers.

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 chloride also known as vinyl chloride monomer vcm and chloroethene is an organochloride compound. Vam efficiently homo polymerizes to polyvinyl acetate pva and is used in numerous random co and terpolymers. Vinyl ethers undergo homopolymerization via a cationic mechanism.

Vinyl composition tile floortiles. 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. The name is also used for any compound containing that group namely r ch ch 2 where r is any other group of atoms. 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.

Polyvinyl chloride pvc a particular vinyl polymer. Vinyl siding an outer covering of a house. Vinyl polymer a group of polymers derived from vinyl monomers. That is small molecules containing carbon carbon double bonds.

An industrially important example is vinyl chloride precursor to pvc a plastic. Let s see how we get from a vinyl monomer to a vinyl polymer using for an example the simplest vinyl polymer polyethylene. Monomers bearing electron releasing groups are susceptible to cationic polymerization 78 79 these monomers can be classified in two main categories. They make up largest family of polymers.

Phonograph record commonly referred to as vinyl because they were made with pvc. Vinyl may refer to. Vinyl ethers undergo radical initiated copolymerization in the presence of specific monomers such as maleates fumarates and acrylics. 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.

They are increasingly used in radiation curing systems because of a lower toxicity profile than the commonly used acrylic monomers. Vinyl monomers broadest portfolio in the industry basf combines 90 years of experience in the development of high quality functional vinyl monomers including vinyl ethers and n vinyl compounds with state of the art know how and technology.
