Polymer Chemistry Classification of Polymers – Notes prepared by The most common way of classifying polymers is to separate them into three groups - thermoplastics‚ thermosets‚ and elastomers5. The thermoplastics can be divided into two types - those that are crystalline and those that are amorphous. You may click on the words in the diagram below to learn more about these classifications. Thermoplastics Molecules in a thermoplastic are held together by relatively weak intermolecular

reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction”. Basically‚ Stoichiometry is the science of counting and studying the relationship between the amounts of the reactants to the product. To think of stoichiometry outside of chemistry‚ imagine a bookshelf. To assemble the bookshelf you may need 3 planks of wood‚ 1 giant plank of wood‚ and 20 nails. Even though the amount of the reactants is high‚ the product would be only one bookshelf. Stoichiometry is basically studying the
