Carothers Equation
In step-growth polymerization, the Carothers equation (or Carothers' equation) gives the degree of polymerization, , for a given fractional monomer conversion, . There are several versions of this equation, proposed by Wallace Carothers, who invented nylon in 1935. Linear polymers: two monomers in equimolar quantities The simplest case refers to the formation of a strictly linear polymer by the reaction (usually by condensation) of two monomers in equimolar quantities. An example is the synthesis of nylon-6,6 whose formula is from one mole of hexamethylenediamine, , and one mole of adipic acid, . For this case :\bar_n=\frac In this equation * is the number-average value of the degree of polymerization, equal to the average number of monomer units in a polymer molecule. For the example of nylon-6,6 \bar_n = 2n ( diamine units and diacid units). *p=\tfrac is the extent of reaction (or conversion to polymer), defined by ** is the number of molecules present initially as monome ...
