AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on naming a polymer synthesized from methacrylic acid (MAA), trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (Trim), azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), and butyl rhodamine B (BTRB). A request for assistance in determining the IUPAC name is made, indicating the polymer's relevance to a PhD thesis. Participants inquire about the polymerization method and its classification as a copolymer type. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on the polymer's structure and synthesis process to accurately name it. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities involved in naming and categorizing synthetic polymers.

Can someone please help me name (IUPAC) a polymer, polymerized by using methacrylic acid (MAA) as monomer, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (Trim) as cross-linker, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as radical initiator and butyl rhodamine B (BTRB)

Thanx

You'll need to show what you've worked so far, as this sounds like a homework question.
 
This polymer was synthesized by Hun et al. [1] and I would like to put this unique polymer in a table for my PhD thesis.
Thank you again

Hi debutnik! Welcome to PF! :smile:

I'd call it triny-trim! :wink:​
 
How was the copolymer made? Suspension polymerization? Would you consider it to be a random copolymer? Block copolymer? Statistical copolymer? Graft copolymer?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
