Question:
Zeigler-Natta catalyst is used to prepare
Zeigler-Natta catalyst is used to prepare
Updated On: Jun 4, 2024
- low -density polythene
- high density polythene
- Nylon-6
- Teflon
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
High density polythene (HDP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE) is prepared by coordination polymerization of ethene at $ 60^{\circ} -160^{\circ} C $ and 6-7 atm. pressure in the presence of Zeigler-Natta catalyst (triethylaluminium and titanium trichloride or tetrachloride).
$n\,CH_2 = CH_2 { ->[{333-343 K 6-7 atm}][{\text{Zeigler Natta catalyst}}] }\underset{\text{High density polythene}}{{[CH_2-CH_2]_{n}}}$

Concepts Used:
Biodegradable Polymers
Microorganisms destroy biodegradable polymers in an appropriate amount of time, ensuring that biodegradable polymers and their degraded products have a low environmental result. Enzyme-catalyzed processes shatter these polymers down into little segments, and microorganisms manufacture these enzymes.
Biodegradable Polymers: Examples
- Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-co-β-hydroxy valerate (PHBV)
- Polylactic Acid (PLA)
- Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)
- Nylon-2-Nylon-6
Biodegradable Polymers: Properties
- Can maintain strong mechanical unification until they are degraded.
- Degradation, in general, starts at the end groups because biodegradable polymers have exceptionally strong carbon backbones that are difficult to crack.
- Non-toxic in nature.
- Degradation rates can be controlled.
- Lack of crystallinity, which inhibits access to end groups.
- Hydrophilic polymers.
