ORGANIC MACROMOLECULES 1. What is a polymer? 2. Man-made polymers have been studied since 1832. Today‚ the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminum‚ copper and steel industries combined. Polymers already have a range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available to man. Give examples where polymers are applied in each of these categories: a) Agriculture b) Medicine c) Consumer Science

POLYMER SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES AIM: The aim of the experiment was to prepare three different polymers‚ namely nylon 66‚ Agar Gel and slime‚ being able to differentiate between the configuration and analysis among the three structures‚ noting the physical characteristics of each polymer and the chemical reactions that occur during the formation of the polymer. Pre- lab questions 1. Is Nylon 66 a step or chain – growth polymer? Define both types of polymerization in your answer. Nylon 66

production of PHB began after the 1990s because of the growing need for a environmentally friendly plastic alternative. Properties of PHB... The biodegradability of PHB gives it extraordinary appeal as a potential replacement for the widely used polymers derived from petrochemicals. These petrochemical products‚ such as polypropylene and polyethylene‚ are often used for packaging‚ but are a hazard to the environment because of the fact that when discarded they do not decompose and can cause injury

Introduction Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)‚ more commonly known as Teflon‚ is a polymer. Polymer is a substance which contains many structural units that are joined the same type of linkage.(1) Hence‚ the molecular structure of polytetrafluoroethylene is based on a chain of carbon atoms. However‚ unlike some other fluoropolymers‚ in Teflon the chain is completely surrounded by fluorine atoms.(2) There is a very strong bond between fluorine atoms and the carbon as the fluorine atoms act as a protective

at 190°Cwere identified through the use of an extrusion plastometer. The data obtained was used to determine the average melt flow rate and melt flow index. Introduction: Polymers are an important class of materials. The range of properties of polymeric materials allows it to be essential in everyday life. The simplest polymer is polyethylene which consists of long chains of C2H4 monomers. Each monomer is joined by a covalent bond while the bonding between the chains is a weak van der Waals bond

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 0.1 0.1.1 GENERAL Nylon Tyre Cord: Nylon tyre cord is made from high tenacity continuous filament yarn by twisting and plying. There are two major types of nylons used as tyre cord‚ i.e. nylon-6 and nylon-6‚6. The properties of nylon-6 and nylon-6‚6 vary marginally and are controlled by the manufacturing process‚ type of stabilisers and additives used. In India only nylon-6 is produced commercially for tyre cord. Thetypesofnylon-6tyrecordusedinIndiaare840/2‚1260/2‚1260/3‚

Introduction One of the most precise measurements in polymer science is also the simplest and cheapest. Intrinsic viscosity‚ which is measured from the flow time of a solution through a simple glass capillary‚ has considerable historical importance for establishing the very existence of polymer molecules. It also provides considerable physical insight. In this lab‚ each group will study the intrinsic viscosity of hydroxypropylcellulose‚ a common polymer derived from cellulose--hopefully at a different

Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

The characteristic properties of slime can be explained by polymerisation reactions. Polymers can be explained most simply by the polymerisation of the molecule ethylene into polyethylene (see figure 1 below). Figure 1. Polymerisation of polyethylene from ethylene. In this example‚ the double bond between the carbon atoms is broken‚ allowing each carbon atom to form one more bond between another molecule. The double bond between the carbon atoms is weaker because the type of orbital is ‚ compared
