Polymers
Differentiate between elastomers and fibres on the basis of inter-molecular forces. Give one structural formula of each type of polymers.
| Elastomers | Fibres |
| In these elastomeric polymers, the polymer chain are held together by the weakest intermolecular forces. Thesse weak binding forces permit the polymer to the strecthed. For example Buna -S neoprene etc. | In these polymers, the chain are held together by the strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding. For example Nylon6,6), polyesters, etc. |
