Identify the monomers used for preparation of glyptal?
Options
- AStyrene and phosgene
- BEthylene glycol and phthalic acid
- CButadiene and ethylene glycol
- DAcrylamide and urea
Correct answer
B. Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
Step-by-step solution
Glyptal is a condensation polymer belonging to the class of polyesters. It is synthesized by the condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol) and phthalic acid (benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid). The polymerization reaction involves the elimination of water molecules to form ester linkages between the monomers. Answer: Ethylene glycol and phthalic acid
