Polypropylene is a versatile polymer. It is used both as a plastic and as a fiber.

Polypropylene is also known as polypropene. Polypropene is a polymer made up of monomers of propene (an alkene). In the presence of high pressure, high heat and the use of a catalyst, these monomers undergo an addition reaction whereby the monomers are joined together into a long chain known as a polymer.

Nomenclature can be derived from "poly" meaning 'many' and "propene" the alkene with three carbon particles.

What is the difference between isotactic polypropylene and syndiotactic polypropylene?

The difference between isotactic polypropylene and syndiotactic polypropylene lies in the arrangement of the propylene monomer units in the polymer chain. In isotactic polypropylene, all the methyl groups of the propylene units are on the same side of the polymer chain, while in syndiotactic polypropylene, the methyl groups alternate sides. This difference in arrangement affects the properties and crystallinity of the polymer.
