Chapter 29, Problem 29.36

(choose chapter or problem)

The most widely used synthetic rubber is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene called SB rubber. Ratios of butadiene to styrene used in polymerization vary depending on the end use of the polymer. The ratio used most commonly in the preparation of SB rubber for use in automobile tires is 1 mole styrene to 3 moles butadiene. Draw a structural formula of a section of the polymer formed from this ratio of reactants. Assume that all carbon-carbon double bonds in the polymer chain are in the cis confi guration.
