(a.)

(b.)

(c.)

(d.)

Step-by-step solution

Monomers

Repeating units of polymers are said to be monomers. Monomers are small chains that binds together to form large molecules called polymers. The dimer counterparts of monomers are archetypal plasmonic in structure.

Preparation of polymer/copolymer by polymer a and b

a. For the preparation of poly ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate monomer is used.

Monomer of poly ethyl acetoacetate

b. For the preparation of poly amino cyclohexane carboxylic acid, amino cyclohexane carboxylic acid is used as a monomer.

Monomer of poly amino cyclohexane carboxylic acid

Preparation of polymer/copolymer by polymer c and d

c. For the preparation of poly 2, 2-dimethyl butane carboxyl, 2, 2-dimethyl butane carboxyl is used as a monomer.

Monomer of poly 2, 2-dimethyl butane carboxyl

d. For the preparation of this polymer carbonyl dichloride and 1, 3-propandiol are used as a monomer.
