Gutta-percha, a naturally occurring highly crystalline non elastic rubber, consists of

A

1,4- polyisoprenes in which all the double bonds have Z- configurations

B

`1,4-` polyisoprenes in which all the double bonds have E- configurations

C

a mixture of `Z- 1,4-` polyisoprence and `E - 1,4 `- polyisoprences

D

1,4- polyisoprenes in which some double bonds have Z- configurations and some other E- configurationns

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Gutta-percha is a naturally occuring polymeric material, isomeric with rubber but having the trans configuration. It is obtained from the milky sap, or latex, of various tropical trees. After the latex is collected, it is coagulated by the addition of formic of acetic acid. It is now chiefly used as a rubber additive.

Rubber is a naturally occurring polymer, which is a linear polymer of isoprene. It can be easily deformed but regains its original shape after the stress is relieved. The properties of natural rubber can be modified and improved by process of vulcanization. It is mixed with 3 to 5% sulphur and heated at 373-423 K. This forms cross links through disulphide bonds (-S-S-) , which make rubber hard, tough with greater tensile strength. There are many different formulations of synthetic rubbers. These are copolymers in which one of the monomer is isoprene. Some common examples are neoprene rubber, Buna-S, Buna-N, etc. What is the structure and IUPAC name of monomers of natural rubber?
