Structure-processing-property relationships
Structure and properties of the polymer depends on:
The nature of bonds in monomers (chemical bonding)
The type of monomers that are capable of formingpolymers (functionality of monomers)
The mode of linking of monomers (polymerizationmechanisms)
The chemical composition of monomers and theproperties conferred on monomers as a result of theirchemical composition

Primary structure refers to the atomic composition andchemical structure of the monomer the building block ofthe polymer chain.
An appreciation of the nature of the monomer is fundamentalto understanding the structureproperty relationship ofpolymers.
The chemical and electrical properties of a polymer aredirectly related to the chemistry of the constituent monomers.
The physical and mechanical properties of polymers, on theother hand, are largely a consequence of the macromolecularsize of the polymer, which in itself is related to the nature ofthe monomer.
Structure-property relationshipsin polymers
Chemical bonds may be classified as primaryor secondarydependingon the extent of electron involvement.
Valence electrons are involved in the formation of primary bonds, hencethese are strong bonds.
Valence electrons are not involved in the formation of secondary bondsleading to weak bonds.
Chemical bonds
1. Primary bondsa. Ionic electron transfer to attain the inert gas electron configurationb. Covalent - involve the sharing of valence electrons.
2. Secondary bondsa. Dipole arises if the electrons shared by two atoms spend more
time on one of the atoms due to differences in electro-negativity.b. Hydrogen - a particularly important kind of dipole interactionc. Induction forces due to induced relative displacements of the
electrons by permanent dipole.d. Van der Waals (dispersion) instantaneous fluctuating dipoles exist
even in non-polar materials, the orientations of fluctuating dipolesin proper alignment results intermolecular attractions

Effect of Bonding on polymer properties
The primary bonds between the chains are strong mostly covalentbonds that you would expect to produce a

high melting temperature material.
The secondary bonds mean that chains can move with respect toeach other easily which makes polymers relatively

Functionality of monomers
The functionality of a molecule issimply its interlinking capacity, orthe number of sites it hasavailable for bonding with othermolecules under the specificpolymerization conditions.
A molecule may be classified asmonofunctional, bifunctional, or
polyfunctional depending onwhether it has one, two, orgreater than two sites availablefor linking with other molecules.
The structural units resulting from the reaction of monomers may inprinciple be linked together in any conceivable pattern.
Bifunctional structural units can enter into two and only two linkageswith other structural units. This means that the sequence of linkagesbetween bifunctional units is necessarily linear.The resulting polymer is linear
The reaction between polyfunctional molecules results in structuralunits that may be linked so as to form nonlinear structures. In somecases the side growth of each polymer chain may be terminated beforethe chain has a chance to link up with another chain.The resulting polymer molecules may be branched.
In other cases, growing polymer chains become chemically linked toeach other, resulting in a cross-linkedsystem

The chemical composition and atomic arrangement of an organic moleculeconfer certain properties on the molecule, one such property is the polarity.
In a diatomic molecule formed from two like atoms (e.g., H2 ), the electron pairlinking the two atoms is equally shared and the molecule is said to be non-polar.
But when molecules are formed from two unlike atoms (e.g., CO), the distributionof the electron cloud is concentrated on the more electronegative atoms andthere is a separation of positive and negative charge and the molecule is polar.
Structure-property relationshipsin polymers
Polarity affects the intermolecular attraction between chain molecules, andthus the regularity and symmetry of polymer structure.
The properties such as the solubility and electrical nature of polymers, whichdepend on polymer structure, are intimately related to polarity

Effect of Backbone The all carbon backbone of PE is very flexible. The addition of N or O on the backbone can make the polymer stiffer
(harder to uncoil and slide past other chains (Nylon) The existence of ring structures on the chain makes the polymer stiff.

The shape of the polymer molecule (molecular architecture) will be influencednaturally by the nature of the repeating unit and the manner in which these unitsare linked together
Structure-property relationships in polymers
Configuration Arrangement fixed by primary valence bonds; can be altered onlythrough the breaking or reforming of chemical bonds
Conformation Arrangement established by rotation about primary valencebonds
Diene Polymerization - 1,2, and 1,4 additions:
In 1,2 addition the resulting polymer unsaturation is part of the pendant group,while in 1,4 addition the unsaturation is part of the backbone, thus in 1,4 addition,the backbone has a rigid structure and rotation is not free around it.
Predominant specie
22
In addition to the molecular shape fixed by chemical bonding, variations in theoverall shape and size of the polymer chain may occur due to rotation aboutprimary valence bonds (conformation).
A polymer molecule may assume a large or limited number of conformationsdepending on:
Steric factorsWhether the polymer is amorphous or crystalline
Whether the polymer is in a solution state, molten state, or solid state
Structure-property relationships in polymers
A single isolated polymer chain in dilute solution havingfour successive chain atoms; the first three of these definea plane, and the fourth can lie anywhere on the indicatedcircle which is perpendicular to and dissected by the plane.However, all bonds have to overcome certain rotationalenergy barriers whose magnitude depends on factors suchas steric hindrance, dipole forces, etc., accordingly, somepositions will certainly be more probable than others
The thermal energy of the molecular environment provides the energyrequired to overcome the rotational energy barrier, consequently, theshape (flexibility) of a polymer molecule is temperature dependent.

The different possible spatial arrangements are called the tacticityof the polymer.
For monosubstituted ethylene, such as a vinyl polymers, everyother carbon atom is a chiral center and are referred to aspseudochiral centers
If the R groups on successive pseudochiral carbons all have thesame configuration, the polymer is called isotactic
When the pseudochiral centers alternate in configuration from onerepeating unit to the next, the polymer is called syndiotactic.
If the pseudochiral centers do not have any particular order, but infact are statistical arrangements, the polymer is said to be atactic.

The isotactic and syndiotactic (also known as stereo-regular)polymers are both crystallizable because of their regularityalong the chain. However, their melting temperatures are notthe same.
Atactic polymers, on the other hand, are usually completelyamorphous unless the side group is so small or so polar as topermit some crystallinity.

The same bonding forces (intra- and intermolecular) operate in both low- andhigh-molecular weight materials, however, polymers have unique properties.
The unique properties exhibited by polymers and the difference in behaviorbetween polymers and their low-molecular weight analogs are attributable totheir large size and flexible nature.
The properties that depend on molecular weight are:
mechanical properties:tensile strength,compressive strength,elongation at break,modulus,impact strength
other properties:softening point,solution viscositiesmelt viscosities,solubility
