Question | Answer |
What is a polymer? | Is made out of smaller molecules called monomers. |
What is a monomer? | A small molecule building block from which polymers are made. |
Give examples of polymers. | Starches and proteins in food, Wood for shelter, and Silk in clothes. |
What is a celluloid? | Cellulose nitrate, a synthetic material drived from natural cellulose by treating with nitric acid. Very Flammable. |
What are uses for celluloid? | Billard balls, movie film. Replaced ivory. |
What is polyethylene? | The simplest and least expensive synthetic polymer. |
What are uses for polyethylene? | Plastic bags for fruit, garment bags for dry-cleaned clothes. |
What is a thermoplastic polymer? | A kind of polymer that can be heated and reshaped. Not all polymers can be thermoplastic ones. |
What is a thermosetting polymer? | A kind of polymer that hardens permanently when formed and cannot be softened by head and remolded. |
What is vulcanization? | The process of making naturally soft rubber harder by reacting it with sulfur. |
How does vulcanization work? | Long-chained molecules are coiled and twisted and intertwined with one another. This is how you could stretch rubber but it'll snap back to normal. |
What is polyester? | A condensation polymer made from molecules with alcohol and carboxylic acid functional groups. |
What are polyester fibers? | They are strong quick-drying and resistant to mildew, wrinkling, stretching, and shrinking. (NOT TOO IMPORTANT) |
What can silicons be? | Silicons can be linear, cyclic, or cross-linked networks. They are heat-stable and resistant to most chemicals and are excellent waterproofing materials. |
Are silicons oils, rubbery, or solid? | They are all of them, depending on the chain length and amount of cross-linking. |
