Which of the following polymers is NOT semisynthetic?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Semisynthetic polymers are mostly derived from naturally occurring polymers by chemical modifications. Examples include cellulose derivatives such as cellulose acetate (rayon), cellulose nitrate, and cuprammonium rayon.
Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a completely synthetic polymer prepared by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene under high pressure in the presence of a free radical catalyst.
Therefore, Teflon is not a semisynthetic polymer.
