• Polystyrene is a vinyl polymer
• made from vinyl monomers; that is, small molecules containing carbon-carbon double bonds.
• simplest vinyl polymer, polyethylene is made from ethylene
14
Addition Polymerization
• Addition polymerization if the entire monomer molecule becomes part of the polymer.
• Polystyrene is made by an addition polymerization
• Similarly polyethylene, polypropylene, and other vinyl polymers are addition polymers

PET by Transesterification
• DMT is a distillable material– Can be purified
• Melts at 140 C– Can be shipped and transferred as a liquid

Catalysis
• Esterifications and transesterifications are acid catalyzed reactions.
• But!!!!!
• What else is an acid catalyzed reaction?
