Identify the monomers use to prepare glyptal.
Options
- A- Hydroxy butyric acid and - Hydroxy valeric acid
- BEthylene glycol and phenol
- CEthylene glycol and Terephthalic acid
- DEthylene glycol and phtalic acid
Correct answer
D. Ethylene glycol and phtalic acid
Step-by-step solution
Glyptal is a polyester resin formed through condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol and phthalic acid, where ester linkages form between hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The monomer combinations are analyzed: Option A : -hydroxy butyric acid and -hydroxy valeric acid polymerize to form PHBV, not glyptal. Option B : Ethylene glycol and phenol cannot form a polyester structure due to the absence of dicarboxylic acid functionality. Option C : Ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid yield Dacron (Terylene), a differe
