Covalent bonding.

Polypropylene is a polymer its structure is shown as

-[-CH(CH3)-CH2-]- n

It monmer is propene ( CH2=CH-CH3 )

One bond of the double bond breaks open and combines with another 'broken' propene double bond to becomes a larger chain . THe whole is covalently bonded throughout.

How would you draw a polypropylene monmer structure?

A polypropylene monomer structure can be drawn as a simple repeating unit with a propylene molecule, which consists of three carbons and six hydrogens, forming a chain structure. The propylene molecule has a double bond between two of the carbon atoms, allowing it to polymerize and form a polypropylene polymer chain.

What is nonwoven Polypropylene?

Nonwoven polypropylene is a type of synthetic fabric made from thermoplastic polymer polypropylene. It is produced by bonding fibers together using heat, chemicals, or pressure, instead of weaving or knitting. Nonwoven polypropylene is commonly used in various products such as masks, surgical gowns, diapers, and shopping bags due to its durability, water resistance, and affordability.


Does cyclohexanone glue polypropylene?

I cannot find any record of cyclohexanone gluing polypropylene. -Personally I would doubt it as this is an oily type of solvent, and polypropylene was actually made to be solvent resistant. Polypropylene is usually joined by 'hot air welding' in which a thin stick is actually welded onto it much like metal welding. see related link for more information
