WHAT DOES POLYVINYL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polyvinyl

Vinyl polymer

Vinyl polymers are a group of polymers derived from vinyl monomers. Their backbone is an extended alkane chain, made by polymerizing an alkene group into a chain. In popular usage, "vinyl" refers only to polyvinyl chloride. Vinyl polymers are the most common type of plastic: ▪ Polymerized simple alkenes: polyethylene from ethene, polypropylene from propene and polybutadiene from butadiene. ▪ Polystyrene is made from styrene or "vinyl benzene". ▪ Polyvinyl chloride is made by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride CH2=CHCl ▪ Polyvinyl acetate is made by polymerization of vinyl acetate. In a water suspension, this is used as a glue. ▪ Polyvinyl alcohol is produced by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. ▪ Polyacrylonitrile is prepared from acrylonitrile While polymerized forms of other 1,2-substituated vinyl monomers are thermodynamically favorable, they are not generally able to polymerize due to steric hindrance. A notable exception to this was found with the monomer fumaronitrile, where polymerization occurs through an unconventional mechanism. .
